I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by "show up". Does the BIOS
report finding an IDE primary slave? Does Linux (the kernel) report finding
hdb when it boots?
If both answers are YES, all you need to do is
use fdisk (or cfdisk, or Disk Druid, as you prefer) to create
a suitable partition table on the drive
use mke2fs to put Linux (ext2) filesystems on any Linux
partitions on the drive
mount the partitions at suitable mount points (e.g., "mount
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/backups")
If either answer is NO, you probably did somethign wrong when moving the
drive to slave. Check cables, jumpers, and suchlike.
