uninstall any drivers that you installed.none are
needed,windows has drivers that work fine.
after uninstalling,shut off the comp and remove the
ribbon cable from both drives.
reboot the comp and after it fully booted shut it down
again and reconnect the cables.
windows should find and install the drives.
if connecting them both at the same time doesn't work try
doing then one at a time.
