It would not boot from mine either.
sadly now my S900 stopped booting at the happy MAC face.
In addition to Charle's excellent advice, I would suggest that
perhaps his hard drive has some extension or such in the OS which is
corrupting the NVRAM. I think this is farfetched, but possible. So
if rechecking the cables and connectors (and reseating your IDE card)
does not work, you may wish to zap your PRAM and NVRAM to clear any
corruption.
