if bios cant detect, it cant boot.
if bios can detect, a O.S. must be present on that HD. otherwise it cant boot from it (obviously)
if you have plugged all cables, in correct sequence, and bios cant see that disk, disk is f....ed. or MB.

hmmm...what type of drives are these ATA or SCSI?
Because your MotherBoard may not be able to use them?

If is it ATA then you should have a jumper that is on the back... And it should select what role that HD is to take. After the jumper is set you computer should recognize it. However, you say there is no jumper?

I have tried with jumper also, but still it doesnot work, for i have done some thing like thius:
got a working hard disk and made it as primary and then took this hard disk amde it as slave, it didn't detect the slave.

So "He is dead Jim"
just bury it on your backyard...
Im sorry.
You can also go to a repair shop and try to fix it or recover its contents, but i think that will be expensive...

Some things you can try which work every now and then:
1) Toss the hd in the freezer for a couple hours then plug it back in and see if it recognizes it
2) Bang it around a bit then try it
3) Try another controller card of the same type and model hard drive
If those dont work there is the tried and true swearing and throwing things around.
