Swap em and make sure that if they are IDE, one is set for master and
one for slave.


The SIMPLE way is to set them all to CS (Cable Select) and mark
which one goes on the end of the cable so you know which one is the
master (when it matters)


There are cables that support cable select (these have one blue,
one grey, and one black connector), and cables that don't.

The first recommendation above is nonstandard if used with a
modern, ultraATA, CS supporting cable.
When swapping cables around, the blue connector MUST be to the
logic board; the grey is for the slave, and black is the master.
