Try re-seating the new card.
Did you read the instructions carefully?
Can you install both Harddrives in the same computer?
(Be careful which drive is 1st to be accessed.)
If so, use the old XP to boot, using the other as slave,
If up and running ok, and, able to access the slave ok, format the slave, with a partition, then try installing windows7 to the slave, then swap them around
Wiring and all, then use the new windows disc to boot using the other as slave?????
If that fails, then it's probably a faulty hard drive!!!!!!!!!!!

In addition, you MUST, look at the rear of the hard drive that you intend using as the slave, and re-orginize the pin sequence using tweezers to remove and place in the right order to make it the slave. There should be some writing somewhere on the drive to tell you where to place them.

When or if you swap them, you have to put the pins back in the same order in order to use it as the master. doing to the other, swapping the pins.

Or, if all goes well, you can tell the computer, using the setup on boot section, to boot from another device. This would save you the inconvenience of having to swap the pins.
