Pull the drive out of the computer, make sure it no longer shows up in device manager, or in BIOS, may even want to clear CMOS. Boot once with the system without the drive, and make sure there are no traces of it. Double check jumper settings on the drive and put it back in, make sure it's then detected by BIOS and then check if it's detected by windows. If it's still not working check the drive in another computer. If the other computer does the same thing, it's the drive, otherwise it sounds like it would be a software problem of some kind.
