Adding hardrive

[Robert Dege]

You want the drive to be identified as the Secondary Slave on your IDE
bus, correct?  This is what /dev/hdd would represent.

What info did dmesg|more provide?

Possibly, does /dev/hdd exist? `ls -l /dev/hdd`  Perhaps the block device
needs to be created in /dev.  It should already exist, but hence
troubleshooting leads to double-checking everything.
