Alright, lot of good information here. First, yes I have the right cable plugged into the right drive. I'm using a new IDE cable that came with the mobo, and it has labels even on each connector. So, the motherboard end is plugged into the IDE1 spot, the slave is plugged into the slave drive, and the master is plugged into the master. I've checked the jumper settings on the master, and they're correct, but I haven't checked the slave. I'm pretty sure they're right, because I was just using it in a different computer.
About the power idea...
It could be that, but I'm not sure. I can hear the drives spinning when I start the computer, I think, but it might be something else. I've tried switching around the Molex connectors but that hasn't seemed to help.
One thing that I'm wondering about though...
At the back of the power supply, there's this red switch. Right now it's switched to "115", but it has another setting, which i think is "230". I have NO idea what this switch does, and I'm a bit hesitant to switch it without knowing what it does. Could anyone tell me?
I'll also check the jumpers on the slave drive.
