Have you installed the motherboards drivers onto the new HDD.

If you havn`t reinstalled the MBs drivers please do so and then let us know how that works.
If the above does not work you may need to download the latest BIOS for your MB, downloads for your MB http://uk.asus.com/M...iFiAP/#download also please confirm that this is your MB.
