do the hard drives spin up when turned on?
has he checked the jumpers are set correctly?
if they are connected to the same cable, one needs to be set to master and the other one needs to be set to slave. the main hard drive that has the operating system on it should be set to master, the new drive set to slave.
or, alternativeley, connect the hard drives to seperate cables, set the cdrom as slave if connected and the hdd as master.
so on 1 cable should have 1 hard drive set as master
and on the other cable you should have 1 hard drive set as master and a cdrom/dvdrom set as slave.
if these are set wrong, then the computer gets confused and simply won't boot.
The jumpers are on the ends of the drives. there should be a little diagram on the top of the drive indicating how these are set.

you should try to take out the battery and leave it out for around 10-15 minutes
this usually wokrs
i seem to have had the same problem as you had
(the battery is normally located near the graphics card on the motherboard)
