Internal hardrive and SATA connection?

I've been having all kinds of problems with my hardrive right after installing it in the new PC case. Old case everything was working fine after upgrading to my new hardrive. I had the old PATA wire connected to the motherboard but not to any hardrive after I upgraded to a new hardrive. After installing the newer hardrive into the new case and disconnecting the PATA wire from the motherboard I got an error after running BIOS no IDE master HDD detected press F1 to continue. I went into device manager its not comming up in the list of IDE's. I thought maybe change the SATA wire and put it into a new SATA slot (since the motherboard has problems with USB connectors maybe a few faulty SATA's). Now I get the message primary Master drive ATAPI incompatible press F1 to continue. Everything loads fine but still I wanted to fix the problem so downloaded a fitness test from Western Digital and its not comming up as a physical drive. I downloaded a new SATA driver from ASUS but still same problem.
