Howdy:

Did you jumper one as master and one drive as slave?

Yes one must be a master and one the slave, like he said

If it is a newish computer which either the words "master" and "slave " are on the cable, or there are blue, black and a grey connectors. Also the cable is 80 strands (rather than the old 40) then this is the 'new' cable format and all drives mus be cable select (c/s)

If all cablewd well and shows up in the bios, look in control pannel, admin tools, computer management, disk managhement and assign it a drive letter.
