Hi,
I've seen this sort of thing before when both hard drives on the IDE channel were set to "Master". I also may have seen it when CS (Cable select) was instead chosen.
Making sure that they were properly jumpered as master and slave OR both on CS generally fixed it up. I trust the former more than the latter - I vaguely recall having issues with CS before.
Cheers,
