valdiston wrote did you make sure you connected the sata and power cable correctly? that would be the first things i looked at instead of os's

pretty sure if Bios sees the HDD then the sata is connected as well as the power though my reading comprehension might be failing me as it does others.....

ok thanks!!!!!!

awesome install ubuntu to the HDD then plop in the windows install dvd and see if you can install through that you can wipe the ubuntu partition after you boot into windows if you want too.if you need any help you can install teamviewer in ubuntu either through Synaptic Package Manager or terminal (CMD prompt) sudo apt-get install teamviewer and post back that you would like some remote assistance
make sure the HDD is formatted properly for the type of windows install you are trying to do as well.

OMG I LOVE YOU!! (not in a gay way) it wasnt formatted in NTFS.

+REP'ed you for your help

i am glad you got it working, it did sound like a format issue windows is very picky you might want to keep that ubuntu disc for later experimenting or recovery its rather handy also if you have not messed about in linux much its loads of fun and you cant break a live boot with playing with things ;)
