Try:

1)  a warm restart, i.e. after starting up, select restart or hit the start 
button again while the computer is already on.  Sometimes the second drive 
will be recognized on the second (warm) restart

2) If you have not yet added any files to the new drive, do whatever you did 
before to get the drive to be recognized, then copy some files to that drive. 
 then configure your system normally and try starting cold to see if the 
drives will be recognized.  If second drive is still not recognized try a 
warm restart as in 1 above.

Let me know your results.  I had similar problems back when I added an IBM 
drive to my PowerCenter 120.  I believe these actions resolved the problem.

<< Have just installed a newer, larger hard drive into my PowerBase 180.  I
would like to keep the older smaller drive as well.  I have installed the
proper cabeling and everything works fine except for the fact that no
matter what I do, I can not get both drives to be recognized by the
computer at the same time.  If one has the jumper set to master and the
other to slave, the machine boots up off of the master drive but will not
acknowledge that the other drive exists, and visa versa.  I know that when
I did this with my wife's machine, a PC, shudder!!!, I had to get into the
BIOS setup to tell the machine to recognize the other drive. This, of
course is not usual with a Mac as usually all of this happens
automatically.   What needs to be done to make this work?
