Yeah, I run a backup weekly (even have an alarm on my phone to remind me to turn my external drive on), though I'll probably add a quick copy of a few important files to a flash drive as part of my...

I'm really glad for you that you have all your data backed up.
As for what to do or how to do it, I don't have a clue what an Ultra Disk Drive is, in fact, I couldn't even find it on Google, apart...

No go with the external enclosure, either. It sounded like it was doing something, Win7 installed the drivers for the USB controller, but didn't install drivers for the actual disk drive. The "Ultra...

Sorry to hear the bad news.
If the HD refuses to be recognized by a USB case, you can (if you have the resources) plug it into another PC by swapping it out with the DVD (while it's turned off) and...

Used the DVD drive's port and data cable, still no go. Reset BIOS to defaults, no go. Switched ports, no go. Plugged a friend's drive in, and it showed the Windows splash screen, so it seems that the...

That's great info.
There are a couple of possibilities that I don't have much hope for, but just in case, when you swapped the DVD for the hard drive, were you using the DVD's data cable or that of...

I turn on computer, it POSTs, checks the RAM, looks for IDE drives. It then loads the AHCI drivers (which it calls the SATA BIOS) for the orange SATA ports, detects the HDD but says the "device...

First of all, you can go into your bios and set it to factory defaults and not have to worry if you changed something that is causing your problem.

Tried a different (orange) port, with no success. Found an option in the main BIOS for onboard SATA type, switched that to AHCI, and I then saw it detecting the DVD drive (on the other, purple set of...

Try temporarily changing the BIOS SATA seting from AHCI to IDE, because if that causes the computer to recognized the HD at boot, it indicates the HD and SATA port are OK.

I've got a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 with an e8400 that's been running pretty solid for the last 4 years or so. It sometimes had problems on booting, which a push of the reset button solved. A few months...
