Have you tried removing the drive from Device Manager? Also, double
check the jumper settings on the back of the drives and make sure both
aren't set to master

But both show up in the BIOS and in Device Manager. I have tried every configuration on the IDE cable and the only one that makes any drive show up is the DVD writer as a slave with another drive as the master. What is going on? I used the cdgone.reg patch and it didn't work… btw.
