It already was. I enabled it, but it made no difference (other than the memory check is done and passes).

1) There is some sort of a conflict between the added and existing hard drives. Verify your master/slave jumper settings, try to put the other drive on a different IDE interface if possible. Note that unlike most other brands, Western Digital drives have different jumper settings for master with slave and single drive.
They are correct. I had them set wrong (both master), and only one was getting detected, then I set one master and one slave, but the wrong way around, then I set it right. The not-booting was the same however I had it.

It should have, but I was going to format it anyway. The boot sequence isn't very useful, because everything is described using default Windows drive letters (hard disk is "C", floppy is "A"). I messad about with enabling and disabling floppy (there is none) and CD ROM before and after hard disk with no success. Even without the second disk added, the problem is still there though.
