Hmmm...That's a strange one.

Are you sure the jumpers on each drive are set properly for master and
slave?

You might also try removing the CDROM and sticking the 850MB drive on the
other IDE controller to see if it works there (make sure the jumpers are
correct for a single drive). In the old days (when Conner was still around),
there were some drives that just didn't get along well if you mixed
manufacturers on the same bus.

If it works alone on the other controller, it's one of those "unfriendly"
drive situations.

If it doesn't work, then there's something else amiss, and hopefully,
someone else out there has a better idea.

Good luck,
