On a 80 wire UltaATA IDE cable, it's the black connector on the end that designates the drive as the master...the grey connector is for the slave. Is the drive jumper set to CS or CSel? It should be.
The Intel motherboard should auto detect that there is no slave hard drive present and set itself up accordingly...but the drive jumper and position on the IDE cable must be correct.
