HDD problems

Hi all;  We have a GX620 that had a bad HDD (drive 0). We replaced the drive, and loaded it up, but now when it boots up, it always says that drive 1 is not recognized, and to hit F2 to enter setup or F1 to continue. Hit F1, and it boots as normal. This computer has two HDD's, and we ensured drive 1 was enabled, but the problem persists. We also ensured drive 0 was the master. What could be causing this problem? Any help is much appreciated.

    first check the boot sequence in your bios, if set properly then disconnect drive 1 and turn off in bios, then reboot with only drive 0.  Shut down, reconnect drive 1 and turn on in bios, boot and see what happens.

    Make sure the drives (if parallel ATA as it sounds) are jumpered for cable select - NOT master or slave.
