Take the new drive out, does it work again?
What about putting only the new drive? Is it detected?
Are you sure they're jumpered correctly? You didn't give us any info about
your PC or drives... we can't read minds!

The BIOS probably has set the new hd as 1st priority in boot order,something
they all do by default when new hds are installed.Simply set old as 1st,this
being that youre jumper pins on all hds & cdroms/dvd,etc,are set to each
other
