>From your earlier results from fdisk -l it seems that the OS isn't seeing
the new drive, it should be listed even without any partitions defined. Also
the fact the lshw listing doesn't show the disk model etc also suggests an
issue.  As a wild guess these aren't SATA2 disk attached to a SATA1
controller are they - some SATA1 controllers won't work with SATA 2 disks,
if they are desktop disks then there should be a jumper to limit them to
SATA 1 speeds. If they are laptop ones you will need to get a new
controller.... based on bitter experience VT6421A cards don't work SIL3114
ones do...
