Actually contrary to popular belief, a Master drive will impact a slave device (as 
it is the master controller on the chain) and there are more than one example of 
certian drives/manufacturers with incompatible units.  Samsung has had the most instances 
of incompatibility in their low capacity/older drives...  I personally ran into this 
problem with both BIOS incompatibilities on some motherboards and with certian drives 
with Samsung drives, and stopped using them some years ago, as they have continued 
to have issues.  Not a new problem.  Make sure they are jumpered correctly and that 
the Master drive is on the end connector, Slave in the middle.  Older forty conductor 
cables are rarely color coded IME.  Check out your BIOS for proper drive recognition 
and if it doesn't POST correctly, you have a compatibility issue IMO..
