Please provide hardware details.  It's likely that those two drives =
won't
work
on the same controller.  I've heard rumors of older drives not playing =
nice
with newer drives on the same controller.  Are you sure the first drive
works
at all?

Don't know of any.  But you might want to scan the ATA/IDE section of =
your
BIOS
to see if there's anything that might be useful.  Perhaps if you can =
force
it
to a slower speed (ATA33 for example) it would work ... but I'm just
guessing.
