You need to set the jumpers on both the master and the slave to reflect the way they are connected. If both drives are on the same cable then the Boot drive should be jumpered as the master and the other as the slave. This cable should be connected to the Primary IDE controller. When you are connecting the slave drive you are causing the BIOS to not see the master.

Don't use cable select...use the master & slave jumpers only
