Firstly in normall terms you dont need to setup the disk in the BIOS, use
the autofind option.
What does the following command return.
dmesg | grep /dev/hdc (just after booting) or if you have redhat;
cat /var/log/dmesg | grep /dev/hdc
What is the output of the following command;
fdisk /dev/hdc

You cant mount a disk untill its been partitioned and had a filesystem
created on its partition(s).
