Well that's strange. I assumed that they were both SATA because they are both
connected to the SATA ports on the motherboard with thin orange cables. I
checked that the new hard disk was SATA capable because I assumed that the
main hard disk was (I didn't build the system by the way). Could BIOS be
wrong in saying that they are IDE?
Thanks

Are these IDE or SATA, if IDE it looks like it needs to be slave, if SATA
you can't set them, they are each on their own cable.

Did you bother to read the post? The OP clearly stated that it was IDE.
