Hi there...

Only idea I can think of right away would be the jumper for Master/Slave.
If it is the only drive on the new system, make sure the drive is set to
the master setting... if there is no diagram on the drive... try removing
the jumper completely and see if it shows up. If not, try setting it to one
of the others, in turn, and check again.
