Is the new drive definitely ok (eg, can you connect it to another machine to check - or run drive manufacturer's diagnostic - usually available from their website)? Does the main drive need a different jumper setting when there's a slave hard drive present (though I'd have expected it to need it for slave CD too)?

If the drive is ok, what happens if you connect it to the secondary controller instead (try with no CD ROM drives connected as well).
