Does the light on the drive stay on all the time? I would suggest you check once again that the cable goes from pin 1 on the A drive to pin 1 on the mobo. If that doesn't fix it, the next cheapest and easiest thing to do is to replace the cable. I had the same error you're having, and it was a bad cable. Oh yeah, since you completely recabled, be sure you used the cable for the A drive and not a standard cable. The A drive cable has a split and a twist in it near the end where the cable plugs into the A drive.
