First, is it visible in BIOS?
(DEL or F2 on the first screen, when the memory is tested, then General, watch the screen for hints)
If it's not visible there, it means one of few things:
1) Wrong jumper settings (if it's ATA) - one disk needs to have jumpers set as 'Master' (and be placed at the end connector of the tape) and the other has to be 'Slave' (and be attached to the middle connector). Refer to the plate on the disk for the right jumper settings.
2) Connector not plugged well enough. Loose tapes are 50% of cases of all problems.
3) It's incompatible with the other disk. Happens rarely, but happens. You may get a second tape and attach it to a second IDE channel (usually just by where the first tape is plugged in)
4) Also, whether it's IDE (a wide, some 2inch ribbon connector) or SATA (a narrow, half-inch red roundish ribbon) it can be still switched OFF in BIOS. Look for 'ATA controller' or 'SATA controller' in BIOS and switch it on.
5) Oh, and check if the power line is plugged in as well.
If it's visible in BIOS, likely it's not formatted. Partition and format it using the right software in Windows.
