Aha! Both on the same IDE cable?

If they are, try switching it to having one on each cable, if you only
have two IDE bays on your motherboard try putting the CD rom / rw
whatever on one cable with one hard drive and the other hard drive on
the other cable on its own or with another CD rom / dvd / whatever.

Example

	|MB		HD	CD
	|-----------|-----------|
	|
