If you have set the secondary drive to cable select and the master was set for master, then that would the problem. If the cable is a cable select cable as in the user guide then check the master is set to cable select as well. If it still does not work then set the primary to master and the secondary to slave in case the cable has been replaced in the past. Then see how you go. You will need to go into the bios and check for another HDD of course. The user guide downloadable from here may help as it has upgrade instructions.
Hope that helps.
