you need to set jumpers correctly by making the hard drive(which has the operating system)MASTER and the other one SLAVE). And, connect both of your hard drivers to the same primary IDE slot.
Good luck.

Have you gone into the BIOS and set it all up properly and you got slaves plugged into the hd?

Try using FDISK from a command line.
