can't find my hard drive

[Derek Ragona]

To use the second drive you will probably need to also change a switch or 
jumper on the drive changing it from a slave drive to a master.  At that 
point the BIOS should show it correctly as a master drive.  In most BIOS 
these days there is a setting for boot device order, you may need to check 
that the second drive is in that list.
