A couple things first....What motherboard do you have? One piece of advice I can give is to try putting your slave HDD on your secondary IDE line (along with optical drive, etc). For some reason, your IDE controller could be having problems differentiating between the master/slave on your primary IDE channel. Another thing to consider, which I doubt is the case, but perhaps your IDE cable itself is dying. In the situation where your computer is not recognizing your primary HDD, try hopping into BIOS and see if it is being recognized there.
