check in the scusi bios if it is detected alright first.

The error suggests that the drive has ignored the power on/spin up command. Go to this website:
http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/ddys/ddysjum.htm
and set the jumper for "Enable auto spin". That should fix your problem.
It is also possible that the drive has Auto-start delay set on and the start command is timing out. If that is the case, you can turn off the auto-start delay - see the above site for details.
Check your terminator!
