[NBLUG/talk] Drive not detected after moving to a new case

If it helps, in my experience, I've found some IDE controllers are more 
tolerant than others of master/slave mismatches.  I would double-check 
(just to be sure) that the drive is set to master or cable select, and 
that it's on the end of the chain. Also, as was suggested elsewhere, I'd 
try plugging it in to a different machine or an external enclosure.

I hope that helps..
