Check to make sure that the power and data cables are tight and that if they are IDE then make sure jumpers are set correctly.
 
the confusing thing is, after turning the pc off last night as usual, everything was fine, then without touching or doing anything, this morning the no detect situation happened. what could cause that, i am about to check the ide cables and even put some new ones in.

Locate the upper and lower filter in the registry, then delete it.

Open regedit look for;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\CurrentControlSet\SetControlClass.
Key name: {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Value Data:[Delete all value data from upper and lower filters]
Note-Do not delete the key or the multi-string values. Delete only the data values.
The keys may be in more than 1 place. You will have to search for them.

Exit regedit and reboot.
 
One of these may help:
1. Uninstall the drive through Device Manager.

4. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:

Right click on each of them, and click Uninstall. Confirm.
