    Double check the data cable connections to the hard drive and the MBoard...you may have dislodged them hooking up the PSU.
    If it's an IDE drive then its a flat grey ribbon cable...if SATA a 1/2 inch wide cable...usually red.

    See if you can possibly change these to auto, or push enter on them, and re try an auto detect.
