Check your cables carefully. I have had annoyances before from malformed '66 cables. It is unlikely to be a timing problem, but checking cabling often brings about miracles. Now if you had a Fast Maxtor master and a slow WD slave, timing would be a killing problem. But, yes, rip open the box and if you find it works with the drives separated, please let me know for the sake of the next person with this problem. But even before that, remove and reseat the ide cables, or remove and replace. Civileme
