There's not much point in trying to install Linux to a drive that isn't recognised by the BIOS, you'd better get that sorted first. The HD light being on constantly could indicate a faulty drive or the cable being connected the wrong way around. As someone else already mentioned, setting the drive to slave mode when there is no master may also give problems; try setting it to master or (if present) single mode (in which case, when it works, it will have to be accessed as /dev/hdc).
