Maybe I'm wrong here, but by the looks of the 4th picture you put the new drive as slave with no master present. I'm not sure if that works for all boards as some are a bit iffy.
The master / slave thingy is used (IDE) if you have 2 boards on the same cable / channel.
I really hope that this has nothing to do with blind fanboyism (or whatever it's spelled) but with the simply realisation that all the complaints, all the threads and all the other stuff won't change or speed up anything. All it does is creating a negative atmosphere.
