     Try swapping the drives. If the new Slot 5, Drive 1 drive 
works okay and and the new Slot 2, Drive 1 messes up, you can be 
pretty sure that the problem is the drive. (Normally, when a 3.5" 
drive fails to function it means that  1. the heads need cleaning, 
or that  2. the heads are misaligned or loose.)
