I will recommend you to make one primary partition even though its your second HDD.

mbr is created when u create 1st partition on blank hdd...whether u r using norton partition magic or windows disk management utility it is not important....but as u r saying dat disk management utility is not doing well...so i recommended norton partition magic...jst del all ur partition.....n recreate it by usin it....hope it will work...
