Did you install the chipset drivers? ie. Intel 815 or VIA? The secondary 
IDE controller sometimes doesn't work right until you do that.

Did you just want your old drive upgraded? Usually new drives come with
a util disk to copy your old drive to the new one and give you more
space......

The only kind of SPAM I want comes from Hormel, thank you!

you need to try a few things to find out
try disconnecting the second hard drive and putting a cdrom on with the
first
double check all your jumpers some master hard drives need to be jumpered
some don't
dont bother with the cdrom drivers as they are only for dos mode
have you tried each cdrom seperatly?
does the device manager see the drives?
are there any yellow exclamation marks in the device manager?
