try disconnecting the device ans plugging it in slave with HDD. if it detects then.. then you need to place a jumper in your slave drive .. and if not then disconnect your primary combo and connect this drive if it works...

in addition to @shantanu_webmaster reply check the BUS slot in which previously u were connecting slave by connecting primary to it this time and ensure it is working fine or not.
