The oldest IDE drive I have thats being used at all is
a 500mb conner drive,
and it spins up and works fine on newer hardware. Make sure you using auto
detect in the bios or try changing the method your machine uses to read the
drive (LBA, 32 bit access, pio modes etc)
That might be the problem. The drive may have been formatted under
incorrect parameters. If this is the case, can the parameters be
ascertained somehow?
