Hello, I just completed my first computer build and I have both a SSD and an HDD (this one to be exact): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148767
Now, when I started up the machine at first, I only had the SSD connected so I could install the OS (Windows 7 64-bit) on that, then I rebooted it with the hard drive connected. It didn't show up in BIOS, and it only sometimes shows up under the device manager. The strange thing is when it does show up, it says ST_M13FQBL ATA Device, even though that doesn't match the model. And when I try to initialize and partition it, I get an error that says "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." Can someone please help me figure out what is going wrong?

Other Specs:
ASRock A55M-HVS FM1 AMD motherboard
AMD A6-3500 2.1GHz FM1 Triple Core
Crucial 4GB RAM
Seasonic SS-300ES Bronze 300W
Corsair Force Series 3 CSSD

I tried swapping the 3 SATA cables that I have and tried all six ports, they work with the other hardware but for some reason just don't recognize the hard drive when I plug it in...
