Yep, as I thought. If you don't see hdb here, you certainly won't go any
further with it. Check your jumper settings on the new hdb and make sure
it is set to slave. Also, just in case your BIOS has retained the
settings for the old hdb, check that and either make sure it is set to
auto or have the BIOS rescan the IDE channels.
