Are both drives spinning up properly? Proper IDE cable for both 
drives? 5400 RPM ATA-33 drives (not 7200 RPM or higher - too much 
power draw)?

Is the 2nd drive something that was previously used/partitioned? 
Sometimes a previously RAIDed drive won't format / re-partition  
properly; safest to use a "clean" drive.

Have you connected a null modem cable to the serial port (at 115200 
N-8-1) to see what's happening?
