A couple of things to try. 

Firstly it sounds like you may have the cable connected the wrong way
around on your inital installation..  reconnect to the IDE card, make
sure your BIOS is set up to accept the second card and re boot.

without the win ADD hardware install the CD using the software
provided, hopefully this is an automated routine.

then restrt your computer

if the CD-rom is recognised from there then use it and don't use the
add hardware routine.  If it is still not recognised use the add
hardware routine.

restart your computer and immediately go to the control panel 
double click on system.go to the device manager tab!.  If there is a
conflict then there will be a yellow ! in a triangle.  double click on
the triangle and try and fix the problem from there.

Try using the have disk command when asked for the drive in
proporties.  If it still isn't working try swaping the cable around
and try again!
