you have to remember to set the Jumpers on the drive to assigh it Master or Slave,  if this is not done it will conflict with the other drive on the IDE cable, (you would usually match the setting of the drive you removed)

This setting is assigned using a jumper on a block of six pins which is usually located next to the 40 pin IDE connector.
