Are you 100% certain you plugged in the sata II/III cable and the sata power (from the PSU)?

Top one is a IDE power connector.
Bottom on is a SATA power connector.

You probably have a SATA power connector cord.
There is a SATA power cord (Several of them actually) coming from your Power Supply inside your case.
Find it, and put it into the L shaped slot on the back of the harddisk.

If you do NOT have a SATA power connector cord, your PSU (*Power Supply Unit) should have come with one of these;

you need to plug in the SATA power cord
what you think the hard drive has its own nuclear reactor to power itself or something?
