My first thought would be to try a rescue disk or LiveCD to see if it
gets detected with one of them.  See
http://linuxbasics.org/tutorials/using/rescue_disk for a few lite
varieties of rescue disks.  In other words, can you see the drive with a
different OS or version of Linux? Did you have something else on the box
previously and were using both drives?

You say it failed to detect the second drive; did you determine this
because the drive doesn't show up in dmesg or some other way?  I'm
wanting to make sure that the drive is really not detected rather than
the system is not able to access it.
