Did you reset CMOS? check in BIOS what method your HDD is using.

Yea I reset CMOS, how can I check what method my HDD is using?

Go to BIOS -> Standard CMOS features. Is any drive recognized there?
If not, go to Integrated Peripherals and make sure that SATA and IDE controllers are enabled.

Just to make sure - power cables are connected to HDD
