which type of hard drive configuration do you have ??????

please explain which type each hard drive is (IDE or Sata) IDE drive has the 2 inch wide flat ribbon data cable ...... sata has the 1/2 inch wide data cable

which drives are connected to which motherboard ports

off hand, you cant have two bootable hard drives on the same IDE connector I dont believe anyway I have always avoided such a set-up ??????

tell us about your jumpers >>>> did you set your jumpers to master and slave if these are IDE drives ?
