Looks like the old drive is quite dead and that is why it wouldnt
boot and that is why XP reboots when its connected as slave too.
You can stop it rebooting that but its likely not worth it because you
wont be able to see the drive contents if you stop it rebooting.
What happens if you put the old drive on the second
ribbon cable in place of the optical drives temporarily ?
