additional hard-disk to the docking station, and would like to access this
additional hard-disk via the docking station.

Are you saying that fdisk recognizes your new hd as /dev/hdb, but you can not mount it ?
Once in fdisk ... Did you partition the drive ? Did you create a filesystem on those new partitions ? Did you use the mount command to access the drive ("mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb1" as root) ?

I'm interested in what happened in your fdisk session. Where you able to create partitions ? Could you "save" your work on the partition table ?
"Device not configured" is also curious ... I wonder if you need to specify the disk geometry to lilo (I'm guessing here) I would look
