Hi Welcome to TSF! 
Did you set the jumper pin to "slave" on this second HDD?
You will need the 'original one set to "Master" and this 'new' one set to 'Slave'.
The Master has to be connected to the end connector, and the Slave on the middle connector of the IDE ribbon.
Check this out and report back with the result.
Kind Regards,
