OK. What I meant to do was
old:
Primary---hda = HD #1
|
+-hdb = HD #2
Secondary---hdc = DVD #1 (R/W)
|
+-hdd = DVD #2 (R)
new:
Primary---hda = HD #1
|
+-hdb = nothing
Secondary---hdc = DVD #1 (R/W)
|
+-hdd = HD #2
I didn't move any master/slave jumpers. That means your hypothesis is:
new:
Primary--- no other drive
|
+-hdb = HD #2 <-- slave but no master
Secondary---hdc = DVD #1 (R/W)
|
+-hdc = HD #1 <-- two masters on the same bus

Looks right to me. Should have made a note of the SNs before, then I could
be sure.
Even if magic happened and they rejumpered themselves, the drive that is now
hda is going bad, so that's the one that needs to be replaced.
