Problem installing second hard drive



On my Power Edge 400SC BIOS version A08, running Win XP...
my Primary drive is a Wesr=tern Digital WD400BB
I have tried to install a second drive(SeagateST380013A)
Both drives jumpered as Cable Select.
The BIOS only recognizes the Primary drive.
Connecting the Seagate on its own it is recognized.
Is there some compatability issue with different makes of drives?
I have also tried jumpering as Master & slave ...same result.
Is there anything else I could try?
