I assume you have one of these ?

Without getting too technical, how about trying another of your 6 SATA drive connection ports ? I assume the first two are controlled by the main chipset and the other four are controlled by a separate RAID capable controller ?
Pages 1-12 and 2-9 give a bit of info here. Double check your power and SATA cable connections as this is the most common point of failure
If this doesn't work might have to delve into BIOS to see if basic configuration is OK. Did you give the board a BIOS reset before setting up your hardware (if a second hand pre used board). This is pretty easy to do and sets all CMOS settings back to factory default. Depending on which SATA port you're using for your second HDD this could be an issue if the configuration was (and still is) set up as a RAID arrray.
If you need to reset CMOS follow the instructions on page 1-17. Note. the terms BIOS and CMOS are interchangeable here and refers to basic motherboard settings
