I recently bought a compaq deskpro from the goodwill for real cheap. The hd was dead, I have a couple of hd's but having trouble insalling one.
 
Are the jumpers on your HD set up for Cable Select or as Master? Is the ribbon cable oriented correctly? Pin 1 of the cable to Pin 1 on the system board and Pin 1 on the HD. Do you know for a fact that your HD replacement works? I'm assuming that you are using IDE or EIDE hard drives.
