Well first, it wouldn't hurt to reset the bios to default settings.

Are you sure the drive jumpers are set correctly?
Try all the variations.

Main drive set to master first then cable select.
2nd drive set to slave, then cable select.
And all the combinations there.

And try all of that on both cables if necessary.
