[PLUG] Can't mount old drive in Debian

I installed a new hard drive on which to install Debian. I had intended to place the old hard drive in a USB enclosure that I already had. Unfortunately, the old drive is SATA, and the USB enclosure is not a SATA enclosure. So, instead I opted to place the old drive in the ultrabay frame that I used for my 500 GB backup drive. 

All seemed to go well, but Squeeze is not finding the drive. I get the following:

jjj at Devil8:~$ dmesg |tail

[40648.050618] hda: possibly failed opcode: 0xa0

Can someone offer suggestions?
