When you're doing an initial build, having more than one drive installed can cause the system to hang up, as you discovered. If your Windows is installed and your system boots without issue, power down and disconnect the HDD again. Power your system up, then update all of your drivers. Download the drivers from the Hero support page (linked below), as the ones on the support disk are usually not up to date.

Once that's done, shut down the computer, reconnect the HDD, and power up. Then hit the Start button and type in "Computer Management" and hit return. Click on "Disk Management", then configure your drive.
