Assuming parallel ATA?
Does the BIOS correctly identify all the drives? Can you repeatedly autodetect them in the BIOS configuration without strange delays?
Jumper settings can be non-obvious, especially if you're used to one brand of logic. i.e. WD uses no jumper for master without slave. This can vary by mfg and model (especially over time).
If you've looked up the jumper positions on mfg websites yet still can't make it go, what are their brands and model numbers?
