Well, I must admit that someplace I lost whether this drive has actually worked in this configuration. If it works without the second drive (I think that is what you said), but it won't with the WD hooked up, then tell us about the drive setup you are using. Types of all drives (SATA, IDE) you have on this rig, brand names of all drives, where they are connected (especially if IDE), how jumpered if IDE, what is on each ribbon cable, and if IDE, where on the ribbon cable. When we get that info and can make sure you are hooked up correctly, then we can move on to the other possible cause of this problem.
