If you have a floppy drive, disconnect that.  Try with only one HDD connected.  Some 
hard drives have jumper settings for Master with no Slave present, and Master with 
Slave present (older Western Digitals for instance)..  Not jumpered correctly can 
have the same effect IME.  If you tried another HDD and everything was jumpered correctly, 
then it sounds like you have some motherboard or BIOS setup issues, or possibly other 
bad hardware, such as other cards/video adaptor or memory issues directly connected 
to the motherboard.
