Are the wires connected properly? Have you assigned whether that hard disk is the slave or master?

MDOT....Perhaps you could tell us exactly what your doing ?    
"my harddrive is not be detected as i install windows 2000 pro or windows xp  "  
Does that mean ...that after you install the o/s the drive isn't seen or do you mean that during the installation it isnt being seen ........You need to be very clear on the issue.......

Just a few questions for you .......
What o/s was installed on this drive win 2000 pro or win xp or were you dualbooting ? Did you properly format ?
Did you successfully Fdisk the drive ?
Have you set the partition (s) as active ?
Are you using a boot disk to reload the o/s ?

let us know
