Default Windows not recognizing HDD 2

Hi guys, first post here but I got a really big problem.

While ago I bought an 80gb hdd. Installed it fine with a program different from Partition Magic.

Couple of days ago I wanted to partition HDD 1. It failed, gave me some errors so after 3 hours of medling I finally formatted HDD 1 and installed windows.

But then to my suprise, when I went to My Computer I saw that HDD 2 was missing, I booted up Partition Magic and saw it refers to HDD 2 as "BAD". And also gives me this error at the start . But the error about the geometary has been a recurring one when formatting but never had problems with it.

Anyway, so I look at my options on HDD 2 and there's only: Set active and Format. Set active reboots my pc and gives me the same thing. And formatting gives me: error #4 bad argument/parameter.

So now I have no idea what to do whatsoever. Please help.

Thank you
Liam
