Switch SATA ports on the mobo, also.

You're doing a process of elimination here. Off the top of my head it could be (in approximate order of likelihood):

1. Master Boot Record (Windows 7 Repair Disc)
2. Buggered BIOS Settings (Reset CMOS)
3. Bad SATA Port on motherboard (Switch port)
4. Bad/Unseated SATA cable (switch cable)
5. Bad HDD controller (switch HD)
6. Bad SATA controller on motherboard (unlikely since you can boot from SATA DVD)
