That could be caused by a cable/jumper conflict on your drives. Like the cpu is trying to read the wrong drive first.

What should i do? Make one a master and one a slave or both masters or both slaves??????
Your computer may be trying to search for network settings when you turn it on or something. If that isn't the case get a utility called bootvis (i haven't got the link, just search it on google or something) which will tell you exactly what is happening when you turn off and on your computer. Also if you ask it to it will optimise the start up and shut down improving boting times.
