well, obviously check all the connections. I 'm sure you dont need to be told that. also check that the new one is a slave maybe, I might not show up if they're two masters. Also check its getting enough power, A friend had issues with his harddrives running really slow because they weren't getting power, I guess if enough devices were sharing a low watt power supply a new device may not even show up due to lack of power.
finally, it could be a dodgey hdd, in which case use it as a paperweight. :) _('~')_/ how does it feel to be something on? |

Single Drive - If this is your only hard drive then set the jumper selector to master
Two Drives - if the new drive will be the main drive, set the jumper to master, if you want it as a secondary drive then set it to slave  I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code |

Is your computer recognizing the drive on bootup (post)?

My best guess would have to be bad power or bad drive. Because you've said that you've checked all connections... Wait.. you also said you tried another drive from a different computer and it recognized... Hmmmm The only thing I can tell you at this point is maybe it's a bad drive. I know windows will not assign it a drive letter until you format it but that is no reason to not show up in bios menu. You said you tried on a friends computer... did you hook your drive up to their computer or did you take a drive from their computer and hook it to yours... If you only took theirs, I would put your drive in another computer and test it there. If it still doesn't show up I would almost definitely dub it a bad drive.
PS sorry for the long and confusing post.. HaHa

Ah. Sorry. I didn't catch that you were running linux. I'm assuming you meant GRUB and not GRUM... sounds like GRUB cant find your boot files... ummm I cant remember if Ubuntu has a repair option if you boot to the disk... I know SUSE does... anyhow, I would try that if it has a repair option. Other than that I am no good with configuring GRUB. I know how I just haven't had any luck with it in the past so I wont even begin to try and tell you how to fix it manually.
Hope that helped a little And I really hope I'm not confusing you and driving you mad! HaHa
