Here's a test: pull the IDE cable off the Linux drive an put the primary
IDE cable from the windows drive onto the Linux drive. If the drive
tries to boot (i.e you see the lilo screen) the bios is crapped. If it
does nothing, the drive is crapped.

A work around might be to put the Linux drive on the same cable with the
windows drive. Be sure to set up the Linux drive as slave to avoid all
sorts of fun.
