What are your system specs? Did you just replace the CPU and mobo with something that was compatible from your existing CPU and mobo? Is this an ATX or micro ATX form factor? Does the new mobo have any sata ports? Are you sure you have the IDE cable plugged into the IDE port and not the Floppy? They are color coded. There are adapters to go from IDE to SATA connections. From my experience, I would have just gone with a whole new build and the cost wouldn't be that much more.
