    Also, check your cables. If you're chaining drives that use UDMA, you need to have 80 pin shielded IDE cable instead of the normal 40 pin, and the order that you place the drives on the chain is very important. If your drives support a cable select or "CS" mode via jumper, then try setting both drives to CS and booting up. If your box tries to boot from the wrong drive, then swap their places on the IDE chain and try again.

    A lot of times this is the cause of the problem you're describing.
