RE: Unable to power on the PC after adding 2nd hard drive
If they are PATA/IDE drives with a wide ribbon cable, you will need to change the jumper on the back of the drive to specify a master and slave drive. If its SATA, not sure.
Have you tried connecting just the new drive?
Have you tried powering the drive and leaving the data cable unplugged?
What is the wattage on the power supply? Many budget systems have a power supply only large enough for what comes standard and nothing else.
