Reopen the case and make sure all of your connections are good. Check all of you cards, IDE cables, PSU connections...
How did you connect the second hdd, master and slave?
Was the 20GB hdd wiped or reformatted before you installed it?

hi check your memory card, try to remove it and clean the gold finger before putting it back, check all the data cables if there is no loss connection..
