Placing a second SATA hard drive

I have connected a second Sata Hard drive. A Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160GB. When I go to the Setup Page and look at the Drive Configuration, I get SATA Secondary Drive OFF. When changing to AUTO for searching the HD, I get Unknown Device. Who can help me?

Did you partition and fromat the Hard drive?
These are generic instructions for installing an additional hard drive using Windows XP Disk Management,
they are by Seagate, but apply to all brands,

Try chaning the SATA cables around, maybe you got a defective drive or problem with power connector.   It should detect, with no problems.
