It shouldn't, it'll just make the second drive hdd. I normally swap the 
cables round. (quite why manufacturers have the cables like this I don't 
know).
Did you make sure your new drive is set as slave, it's normally a link 
between the power connector and the ribbon cable connector.  There is 
usually a picture on the drive label showing where it goes.
