Have you tried (you said both hard drives on one ribbon cable) putting the one you want to boot from as Master with jumpers on as master....and placed on the END of the ribbon cable. The secondary drive would have the jumpers on set to SLAVE and on the middle of the ribbon cable. It should work that way. Don't think it will work without jumpers with two drives on that cable.
