Subject: Slave HD Not found

The C: drive on my IBM Aptiva with Windows 98 SE was a Quantum Big Foot. 
I installed a Seagate Barracuda 100 GB Ultra AT/100 according to instructions, 
intending to make the new Barracuda C: (master) and the old Big Foot D: (slave).  The installation program
moved almost everything, the operating system, applications, data, etc. to the new disk.  (Seagate 
support had to tell me to give a sys C: command to install the system files).  Everything runs fine from the 
new disk.  However, it does not recognize the slave, i.e. the old Big Foot.
I ran the computer with the slave detached, turned it off, re-attached the old Big Foot, and turned the computer 
on again.  It does not recognize the slave in the device manager or the system tools/storage/drives.  I also 
went through the control program/install new hardware and it does not find the Big Foot slave.  
The new disk came with a new ribbon cable which I installed.     
By the way, I had an old disk as a D: drive before this installation and it was working fine.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
