is this on the new MB now? it almost sounds like the hard drive isn't jumpered correctly. it should at least recognize a hard drive if you set it to "single drive". the fact that the HD doesn't spin is suspicious.
lastly, have you looked into whether or not there are bios upgades available. a word of caution on that though - it is not for the faint of heart and you can wind up with a dead MB. what make/model is the MB?
