Sounds like your secure erase did not work properly, an SE should delete the MBR making it viewable in windows.

This is pretty common actually, although never seen it happen same board to same board before :S

If running AMD card use partedmagic 5 and unetbootin to make a bootable flash disk (if running nVidia use the latest 7 i guess is fine)

Use the marvell SATA ports NOT the Intel ones, if you MUST use intel (no marvell) set hotswap in BIOS and unplug the drive and pull the SATA cable and plug it back in to unlock it. after you boot parted magic.
