look up the correct jumpers for your hard drive, go find/buy some at circuit city. still you should see the bios screen first. Something else is wrong.
If you say you replaced the power supply then check to make sure something isn't shorting out the power and causing it to turn off. I'm going to guess the best fix would be to replace the mobo.

one step ahead of ya, i hooked up the SATA using the legacy power and i held the hard drive in my had and it started fine????? so does this mean it the drive was shorting it out? now im still workin on it and i guarentee its gonna go stop workin again.

That makes sense to an extent. The hard drive will not spin untl the bios tells it what to boot to. So you should see the bios screen first no matter what. I'm stumped as to why thats happening without you at least seeing the bios screen first. I'm still going to bet its a combo of the hard drive and mobo. I dont know a lot about sata drives. Make sure you get the correct jumper settings. That always has wierd affects on computers, and maybe extreme affects with sata drives.
Still something is likely up with the motherboard.

oh, unplug anything you dont need to bootup the computer. Leave the hard drive in, a cd drive and disconnect all graphics cards(as long as there is an onboard one) and sound cards, network cards.. so forth. Sometimes computers have problems booting when to many virtual devices are asigned. I would deff try and format that sata drive on another computer and see what happens.
Computers really have problems when to many devices are assigned to be handled by the same processes. They just drop certain devices to handle others and its a mess.

The only way it would do that is if his BIOS is screwed. And if that's the case, I hope you have a floppy disk drive so you can get a copy of a new/updated BIOS.
And the computer only check's 3 things on startup.
1st: HDD
2nd: Cd-rom
3rd: Secondary Cd-rom
That is a usual setup, though it is customizable by the administrator of the computer, though HDD will always be first in the process.
