I ran your MoBo thru Google and it took me to this page...

*www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=587

it is mentioned on this page that this board supports 4 IDE drives.

If the drive is new and has not been used before than Windows Explorer may not recognise it until you start Disk Management and here Intialise\partition\format and ensure the drive has a Drive Letter.
