Disappearing Hard Disk

Hi,

I have a 120 GB WD hard disk I have partitioned into two logical disks and I recently hooked up a 40 GB Seagate hard disk I've had for a long time into my system and Windows is not detecting it, however the BIOS does. I used to have Linux on it, so I went into FDISK, wiped the partition clean off the drive (which it detected just fine) and re-partitioned it with a single 40 GB primary partition. I have the jumper on my 40 GB set to slave and my 120 set to master, but Windows still does not detect it even in the Manage portion of My Computer. I don't know if this would be a confounding factor or not, but I am running Master Daemon tools (for those of you not familiar with the program, it allows virtual CD-ROM drives to be established to allow for mounting of ISO's, in essence, it tricks the OS into thinking there are multiple CD-ROM drives when there really aren't). Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Brian
