Ok, this is my first time building a computer. The only thing i kept from my old gateway was my CD rom and my Hard drive. My hard drive already had Win7 on it. But when i transfered everything over to my new case my hard drive is NON-EXISTENT. And by that I mean even BIOS does not detect it. Everything is installed properly(had help). Everything works fine but when it boots up it says there is no boot device or whatever.
So i put in my win7 install disc, and everything goes smoothly, but when it gets to the screen to pick your hard drive to install it, its not there. I have the hard drive installed properly this i know for sure. Ive double checked my cable to make sure its snapped in. My mobo has 6 SATA slots, tried em all. Ive tried so many things I don't know what to do. Im at the point where im gonna buy a new hard drive and see if its a hardware failure. At least if i do that i will know for sure. Ive read somewhere about installing the drivers during win7 install but i dont know how to do that or if it is that.
here is my motherboard.

Ive messed around a little in BIOS but still nothing. If its hardware failure then fine so be it I can get a new one. But if I purchase a new one and still nothing then I have no idea what to do. Can anyone help me with this?
