pull the ribbon cable form the mother board and lay the plugs with the pin entry sockets flat on a bence and then apply pressure all the way along the back of the plug. this will fix any not connecting wires in ur ide cable. Alternately try replacing the ide ribbon cable, is a common flaw.
Does it make the usual spin-up noise when u start the computer.
Any crunching noises??
If all this fails try pulling the data (ribbon) from all other devices like cdrom, burners and floppy and try again.
Hard drives do die tho.
The last resort if you just want to make it work is to stick it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes in a sealed plastic bag, then plug it on and go, if the drive is dying this will give you the chance to back up your data to a replacement drive.
