My system works just fine with the two drives.

Are the drive jumpers proper configured - one as master the other as
slave if they are both on the same IDE cable?

If so then try reversing the assignments by making the master drive
the slave and the slave drive the master.

I have personally found using Cable Select settings to be problematic
in these types of situations.

Good luck
