Very nice of you to do.

Are both the hard drives on the same IDE bus?  ie. on the same cable?
Are they correctly jumper configured as master and slave?

I have seen cases where drives "go away" or other weirdness when the
drives were jumper configured incorrectly or when using cable select.
Some drives just don't do well with master/slave/cable select issues.  A
quick way to test is to disconnect hdb completely and see what the BIOS
thinks of that.

Granted, in this case it seems to have developed a sensitivity all of a
sudden, but it is something to check.
