Try setting the HDD jumper to cable-select (as outlined in the HDD
label).  Cable-select is probably the safest configuration mode.  On
the IDE cable: I would suggest installing the IDE connector with the
red cable to the right (i.e., on the first pin).  But I do not think
it will be the source of your problem.

Good luck,
Igor.
