Installing a second SATA hard disk

Who can informe how to install a second hard disk on my Dell Dimension 9100.

I bought a second SATA Westen 160 GB harddisk, connected on the right way, but after starting up the PC does not recognized the second disk?

Also I try to install Windows XP on the second harddisk
I disconnect the first harddisk, but I receive a message that there is no hard disk found.
 
Who can informe what the procedure is?

Thanking you in advance for your help

    open up the bios on boot, and make sure the sata is set to auto detect, then once in xp right click my computer/manage/disk management to format the drive before xp can see it
