Check jumper settings on your HDDs. I think both HDDs are configured as
Master and causing this problem.

Subject: [expert] Problem with a second hd (ATA 100)
Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 10:40:00 +0100
Hello folks,
I have a Pentium III 800, WO-R mother board, 128 Mb RAM, Quantum HD 30GB
ATA 66, Hitachi DVD, Soncy CRX160E cdwriter, Voodoo3 3000. I have
installed both, Windows98 (because some applications that I need can't
run under linux) and MDK 7.2.
I am registered as crashtester for the nex MDK release; because my
system is running fine, I don't want at the moment install the betas on
this harddrive and I have bought a new harddrive Seagate ATA100 of 20 GB
(my motherboard is new and can use ATA 100). The new hd has been
situated as slave in ide0; the computer recognized it, but when I start
the computer a message said "no system found".
If I put down the new hd, the system start running without problems. If
I start the system using a floppy I can see the new drive, make the
partitions and format them, but the problem still exist; it is
impossible to start from the harddrive.
I made also an actualization, linux recognized both drives but, the
problem is still present, grup doesn't appear.
I have tryed with another old harddisk (ATA66) and I have the same no
results.
Could be a problem with grub? or perhaps with the configuration of my
motherboard?
Any help will be welcomed
