RE: Windows won't boot
My guess would be that the problem is one of the following:

1) There is some sort of a conflict between the added and existing hard drives.  Verify your master/slave jumper settings, try to put the other drive on a different IDE interface if possible.  Note that unlike most other brands, Western Digital drives have  different jumper settings for master with slave and single drive.

2) The computer is trying to boot from the just added hard drive, which may not have a valid MBR.   Verify your BIOS boot sequence.
