Western Digital drives are very odd, sometimes. Be sure the jumpers are set correctly. Realize, there is are "master single drive" and "master with slave present" settings. I once had one to master with slave with no slave. The drive worked, but it was very slow and started blue-screening after windows did it's first reboot.
