Since you don't mention jumper settings... I have to ask... Have you verified the jumper settings on these drives? In most cases, the HD should be set to Master. In some cases, it need to be set to slave, if the optical drive (like the MCE drives) is hard-set to Master already. In virtually no case should it be set to "cable-select" inside the Cube.
