Broken computer

[livejournal.com profile] naath has acquired a computer from a friend. She'd like to put her existing PATA IDE disks into it, but it can't see them.

More details )

Does anyone have any further suggestions of things we could try before concluding that this motherboard's IDE is bust? Current best suggestion for a workaround seems to be a PCI or PCIe IDE adaptor and use that.
