If your current one is set to master, set the 2nd drive to slave. If your current one is set to cable select, set the 2nd one to cable select also.

Plug the plugs in, set the jumpers, power machine on, ensure that bios is detecting all the drives, boot into your operating system (assuming it's XP), goto control panel, administrative tools, computer management, disk management, right click the new drive in the bottom window, and select the appropriate option to either format or partition.
