Check the jumpers that they are not both set to Master or both set to
Slave (my practice is just to use Cable Select and eliminate the
possibility).
If they are failing on separate cables, then the cable attached to the
non-working drive is most likely the issue, either not fully seated or
the power may not be fully seated (it is easy to inadvertently pull the
cables when working in such a tight space). Or, the IDE cable is simply
busted.
