As stupid as this sounds with my old Western Digital, which I think is about the same age as yours, it was VERY easy to plug the cable into the unit upside down by mistake; the lights would even go on, the computer just wouldn't register it. Make sure you're not doing that.
I apologize for assuming you'd make the same dumb mistake I would. I just had problem after problem with the cables - the plug on my unit itself is actually very loose and it's a struggle to keep a cable in.
