HDD Problem

[demon8991]

I recently reinstalled windows for a friend formatting both of his hardrives, and installing on the bigger one (previously on the smaller one) but now the smaller drive doesnt show up at all?

It spins up but doesnt detect, ive tried it in two machines and same in both, what am i doing wrong?

Tis an 40gb WD IDE drive with an asrock mobo i think, its always worked in the computer but now doesnt.

I have tried it in some old P3 computer which i want to use it as a primary drive for but it doesnt detect in the and obviously doesnt boot or load the windows xp installation.

Well i set it to cable select it didnt do anything it was previously set it slave, and i put it as master and cable select when i tried it in the other computer as the default drive.
