Have a look in /etc/fstab - there should be a line like this for the
second drive (it may be hdb, hdc or hdd depending on where it is plugged
in and how the jumpers are set or sda/sdb if its a sata drive)
    /dev/hdb1   /var/lib/mythtv/recordings   xfs   noatime   0 0
run 'dmesg' and see if the same disk is recognised during bootup in case
you put the jumper in the wrong place!!
