if the bios sees the harddrive then it needs an fdisk so the o/s can see it
what windows were you trying to put on ?

Check to make sure that the IDE channels are both enabled, and that the jumper on the new drive is set to master. Just a thought.

if western digital drive & no drive present as slave than don't jumper the drive as master as still won't be seen. put jumper parallel to circuit board close to ide connector & circuit board.
