In BIOS, make sure it's set to UDMA 4 or 5, whichever is the highest you can set it.
a stupid question, but you ARE using an 80pin ide ribbon cable right?
Yeah, that would help too...blue end to the motherboard.
OP
indeed it sounds like a stupid question BUT IT'S NOT!!
I checked twice if my cable was an 80pin one, wrote to western digital, downloaded IDE drivers , etc... But finally I found out -thanks to you- that the guy who assembled my pc inverted the cd rom cable and the IDE cable...Blue end cable was not on the blue plug (that I didn't check)
THANK YOU GUYS you saved my nerves!

sometimes the stupidest thing causes the biggest problems.
I'm glad it fixed your problem though.
