RHonda, It is bad practice to have a Hard drive and a Cd or DVD on the same ribbon. Try putting the two H/Drives on the same ribbon and the two Cd or Dvd on the other. The Cd/Dvd drives will slow the H/Ds down.
I would suggest disconnecting all the drives other than the drive with ME on it and then attach the second H/D , this will make it easier to trouble shoot.
Just a by the way, I haven't seen ME for a very long time , but from memory I seem to remember ME didn't like two H/Ds.
