Check drive size in Windows Disk Manager, common side-effect is drive being detected as zero size.

This was recently mostly confirmed that it happens when drive is CHS-only (LBA was specced but only optional in first IDE specs), all (?) adapters seems to assume LBA support.

Download latest winuae 3.6 beta, run it as admin, select the drive (it should appear in this version), click Read identity button. Does it show inquiry data or open mostly empty screen? (EDIT: and if it does, please include it, just copy&paste the output)
