How about the jumper settings. Could they both be set as master?

Sounds like you have both jumpers at the rear of the drives set to Master
instead of one to Master and one to Slave.

The new drive may need it's jumper set to (CS) computer select, if the other
drives jumpers are set that way..

I think you may have something there. They are both set as master
