Well, i have managed to get a 2.5" IDE drive working in it fine.
As for the drive not showing, it won't register in explorer or any file managers. (including the disk management applet)
When i put my 3.5" IDE drive in, turn it on, the drive spins up, the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon appears in the system tray, but no drive ever shows in any file managers.
When i click on the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon, this shows:

Can't understand why it won't load drivers for the drive...
And the drive is definitely working, i just tested it again in another computer to be sure.
Tried putting it into different modes, cable select, master etc., nothing ;_;
If only my other drive worked, but i think its electronics are fried, or possibly something else inside near the heads... i hate HDDs! (especially Seagate, never getting anything from them again!)
Oh, and the driver conflict thing.
Well, basically neither of them work when they are both plugged in.
When i remove one of them, the other loads up as if it was just inserted / turned on, put it back in and it ceases to function.
