I don't use a qube, so I can't say for sure, but I can say that in Linux, your disk devices work like this: /dev/hda <-- first disk on first ide /dev/hdb <-- second disk on first ide /dev/hdc <-- first disk on second ide /dev/hdd <-- second disk on second ide etc.
So if the cube has two ide headers, each presumably allowing two disks (for a total of 4), the the master drive on the second chain would be /dev/hdc, not /dev/hdb. Don't know if this helps or not.
