Kevin,
I had an almost identical experience three years ago with Western Digital
drives.
Drove me crazy for a week trying to make the new drive the slave. I finally
decided that rather than take a sledgehammer to the whole thing, I'd make
the new drive the master and the original drive the slave. Worked like a
charm. Good luck with your problem
