What could be the problem? What file system, if any, is on this 2nd drive? If none, then you have to format and create a file system on it. If you want a Linux file system, you use fdisk (very carefully) to create the partitions, and then mkfs to create the file systems on those partitions. There are ways to create other file systems as well.
if it already has a file system on it that you want to access, you need to find out what partiton number that file system is on. Again, fdisk can be useful to see the partition table. Then, you need to mount the file system. If this is for a one-time job to copy files, you can do it with the mount command. first, make a place to mount the file system, with : mkdir /mnt/disk2 then, mount it like this : mount /dev/hdb2 /mnt/disk2 Assuming the 2nd drive is the slave on the first IDE cable. If it is the master drive on the 2nd IDE, it would be /dev/hdcx. The number after the hdb or hdc is the number of the partition you want to mount, I just used 2 in the above command as an example. You may have to mount each file system to see what is in it until you find what you want. If you want to add the drive to the system permanently, then you need to edit /etc/fstab, which is what the system used to mount the file system that it now has. Do: man fstab to get some help on this file. All of the above needs to be done with root priveleges, using the sudo command. Especially, the fdisk command is very dangerous, make sure you point it at the right drive before making any changes.
