    Are you sure you are saying this correctly? After connecting to the
    SECOND MASTER HDD?

    If so, there's your problem. On one cable you can only have 1 master drive.

    If you want to run two hard drives on the same cable (same IDE channel),
    one MUST be set to master, one MUST be set to slave (unless you use
    cable select - but I find it to be slower). Other than that NO exceptions.

    Regards,
    Ed.
