  How are the drives jumpered?  Master/slave, Cable Select?  I honestly 
don't recall if a particular configuration doesn't work, just a pointer. 
I have an 18gb drive (boot/root) and a 100gb drive in my U10, and a 40gb 
drive in my U5, with no problems that I can recollect (but then, the U10's 
been running for *years*).
