Try this:

Check the other drive on that cable to make sure it is set to Master, then set the jumpers on this one to slave. Make sure the slave drive is on the middle connector (gray) and the Master on the end (black). Go to the Bios setup menu and make sure that your boot order is set to:

CDRom - 1st
Floppy - 2nd
Hard Drive - 3rd (the drive you want to BOOT From, not the new one.

Then, make sure that in the Boot Priority area that the hard drive section is set to have the BOOT DRIVE (not the new one) listed first.

Shut down, put in the disk that came with the drive and see what happens when you try to boot up....report back.

YES, it is possible the new drive is bad, we get one from time to time.

Note: I am assuming that you want this to be a spare drive and not the OS drive????? Tell me if this assumption is incorrect.

If you want this to be your main operating system drive, then you need to make it a MASTER drive and we can slightly alter the instructions for that...just let us know.
