disconnecting the new hd solved the problem

adjust your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to account for new drive
that is if your old drive is ide or scsi if its also sata check that original is plugged into sata channel 0 or 1
you will be able to have both drives installed then . it does complicate things with mixed interface drives

Same here. What's the error? I guess that the kernel can't find the root-partition because plugging in the other HDD does something to the devices.

you guess right, the question is what to do for solve it ?

Try editing the the related paths at the grub boot scren, press the "E" key to edit the selected menu entry. I had a similar issue once when adding a third sata drive. for some reason it messed up the order in which grub/kernel deteced the devices, no sense of logic to it. So, if eg. your path is /dev/sda1, sda might be sdb or sdc now.

You might benefit from persistent block device naming
