Have you rechecked your Bios setup on the two drives?

Subject: [PCBUILD] Windows finds bad sectors that don't exist
I'm working on an older Gateway P-75 that I upgraded to a 200MMX CPU, 64MB
RAM and also added a Western Digital 4.6GB drive last year. I setup the WD
drive as drive C: and made the original 850MB drive as drive D:. The
computer is running Windows 98SE and it had been working fine but now every
time it boots it displays the following message just as Windows starts up:
"One or more of your disk drives may have developed bad sectors. Press any
key to run ScanDisk with surface analysis on these drives."
Pressing a key give this message: "There was an error running SCANDISK.EXE,
or it was canceled. Run Scandisk for Windows, as you may still have errors
on your disk(s). Press a key to continue loading Windows."
