The EIDE cables look like a gray ribbon of little, glued together, cables with 1 red wire. The red wire has to match pin 1 on the back of the drive. Make sure that the primary 0 is set to master and that the primary 1 is set to slave. you can tell by looking at the jumper at the back of the drive. It should correspond with a graph that is usually in the manual of the drive or on the drive itself. the jumper is a little plastic cover that has a metal wire in the inside, you may have to use tweezers to remove it and put it in the right place. also make sure that the secondary o is set to master and the secondary 1 is set to slave using the same method. if there isn't a drive that goes into the slave than you don't have to bother plugging one in and setting it to slave. just make sure the one by itself is set to master. make sure that pin 1 on the drives matches pin 1 with the EIDE cables.
