Nathan,
Are these Apple branded drives ? Another thing you can do is pull the IDE cable off the CD-ROM and plug the 2nd drive in there to see if it will mount and read. Or do you have FWB Hard Disk Toolkit which has a decent mounter and disk formatting utility for non-Apple drives. I usually have good luck with FWB's utilities when Apple's utility doesn't work.
