This has probably to do something with Master & Slave settings, You probably have your drives set at Cable Select, and so the order of the hard drive's change when a hard drive is unplugged. So, you could solve this inside linux, but then you would need to change it back when you unplug the other hard drive again, i think. So, if it's the problem, swap the data cables of both hard drives should fix the problem.
