The latest Beta should support HDD up to 120GB.
Make sure the Master/Slave/CS jumpers are set according to the position on the IDE cable.
Make sure the IDE cable is functioning - maybe try a different, known good cable.

Do you hear the drive spinning up on boot ?

yes!
He is working now! :) but not for the full size (120GB) only 32GB.
The hard disk is now Master (i don't know what cable select is, i can try it)

I have al ready read some topics about this problem. But i found no answer.
I hope you can help me, anyway, Thanks!

Sounds like the 32Gb limitation clip is still present - check HDD jumper table or documentation where it resides and remove him. Sometimes jumpersetting noted as alternative capacity
