Hi! I've got a Dell Media Bay which seems to be very similar. For me it only works after rebooting or after resuming from hibernate. Have you already tried to unmount it, then simply exchange them? What kind of SATA-controller do you have? If you have to use the Intel driver (look into your bios if you can use AHCI instead), you might want to play with "ata_piix.force_pcs=x" kernel parameter (if its a module, load it with "force_pcs=x" as a parameter). x can be 0,1 or 2. Neither works for me. Look here: http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html As usually: I'm not responsible if you break your hardware/filesystems when following my advices.
