ALSO make sure the cables are in the CORRECT slots on the MB
replace and reboot....
if you didn't have Windows on the C drive tho, you won't be able to add the second HD until you set it up right which I won't even attempt to go in to here.

ok, the 2nd drive is removed right now...the problom started because I called dell and talked to some ididot who didnt know shit....he told me how to add a 2nd drive, but didnt tell me anything about "master" or "slave" or anything....so I just added the 2nd drive, and when I rebooted, it rebooted from the 2nd drive, which I didnt want...so I called dell again, and got a different guy, and he told me about the whole master and slave thing....so then I took off the 2nd drive, just to make sure the first drive wasent fucked up...and voila, the 1st drive(my main hd with all the date) is the one that is fucked now....
when I put in the 2nd drive the first time, the 2nd drive was on slave I believe, and my main drive was on "CS"...could that have wiped out my main drive?
