If the disk had data, it is best to hot add (add while system is on). Of course the best option would be to hook it up to a PC and wipe the disk before adding, which you did.
Since you had Seagate for Dos, run the tests and make sure the drive is reporting properly. I just have had problems with two ST31000528AS drives in my NV+ when they reported only 32MB of space vs the 1TB they are supposed to. I reset the capacity with SeaTools for DOS. I am in the process of erasing the disks completely.
I would boot the NV without the disk present and after it is stable, hot add the disk. If that does not work, post back.
