You need to set the jumper on the back of the drive appropriately for your
hard drive make. If you visit the manufacturer's site they will often have
diagrams for how to do this.

Here is an example http://www.perfectdrivers.com/howto/seconddrive.html The
drive used in the example is a Maxtor but your drive make or model may have
a different configuration. Ensure you have the jumper set correctly to Slave
attach the drive to the IDE cable and insert the power supply plug. It is
generally very easy. Most BIOS are set to autodetect and the drive will be
recognized immediately. If it isn't then consult your motherboard manual.
