I am trying to add a 2nd HDD to my Dimension E310 (WinXP Media Center Edition 2005) with no success. I purchased a bare 1.0TB WD10EZEX and SATA cable and have physically installed the drive and connected the daisy-chained power cable. The SATA data cable is connected to SATA-2 port. When I go into the BIOS settings, the original 80GB boot drive is recognized but the 1.0TB second drive is not. I have turned the port on but the Drive ID says "Unknown". If I switch the two drives around, the first drive (the 1.0TB) is recognized but the second drive (the original 80GB) says Drive ID: Unknown. BIOS is version A03 (10/08/05). What am I doing wrong or do I have a faulty SATA-2 port?
