Make sure you saved the CMOS. Check the HD is partitioned (fdisk). Make sure its formatted. Check that one HD is Slave, and one Master. IDE cable could be plugged in upside down?

Eventually you should try to put the 2nd HD onto Secondary IDE Master. Let it be partitioned and formatted in vfat32. Good Luck!

One hard drive is formated 32 fat and the other is 16. both must be formated in the same way.
