"Easy solution:

Try a new hard disk and a new data cable.

If BIOS don't recognize the disk, the problem is in your motherboard.

-------------

Otherwise you can connect your actual hard disk and try to detect it with another computer.

-------------

If the hard disk is new, check the pin configuration at the rear of the disk. Must be placed correctly in Master, Slave or Cable Select. And then try to detect it."
