My first impression would be to ask you if you fiddled with the drive
cables?  This is always a source of trouble, BAD cables can be a very hard
problem to track down.  Make sure they are on tight.

Secondly, are you able to do a low-level format of the drive?
If so you may have a problem reading the first section of the drive.
Fdisk may not work properly.  Try using disk-manager to set up a partition,
then go in to fdisk and see if you can read the disk.
