I don't understand why you have set them to be slaves when they are the only
drives on the ports. Shouldn't you be setting the jumpers on both drives
into the Single Drive (default) settings? I always thought the Master and
Slave positions are to be used only when connecting two drives on one port.

hda and hdc should be the devices.
