Two things need to be done:

1> set the drive select jumpers on the drives so that one is drive 0 and the
other is drive 1.

2> There is a jumper on the motherboard (I don't have the 2000 handbook with me
so I can't tell you the jumper number) Look in you handbook that came with the
2000 in the section that talks about jumpers. There is one that affects the
drive ID's. Something about it being closed so you can plug in an EXTERNAL
drive, and you have to open it if you are installing an INTERNAL drive. 

A friend and I just installed an internal drive in his 2000 and that is what we
had to do. Until we set the jumper on the mother board both drives acted like
yours does. Now it works fine.
