Upgrading an SE's HD

Hi List! I have a straight SE (not an SE/30), and it has an 80 mb HD that I want to put a 2 GB drive into. I can't get the SE to recognize the drive. The drive was in a 7300 running OS 9.x in it's previous life, so I put the new drive into an old PowerComputing tower running 8.6, formatted

SCSI Mac hard drives need to be non-parity. But termination is probably the most critical thing. There are two aspects to this: termination resistors and termination power. The original 80Mb drive probably has in-line resistor packs right near the 50 pin connector. They can be unplugged.
