Put it on the primary IDE as a slave see what happens. Does it work? if so try putting the primary master on the secondary (asssuming secondary was bootable too) Turn secondary master to primary, and put primary on secondary, does it work? if not replace secondary cable, does it work if not check BIOS configuration, is it good, if so you may have a bad channle.
If I could remember all I have forgotten, I would be a smart man.
