Footnotes:

- The jumper configuration for primary-master, prmiary-slave, secondary-master, and secondary-slave should be in the drive manuals. I'd also be willing to bet the hard drive you boot off (the one with Windows) will be primary-master, and the other one primary-slave.

- As was stated, the pink line on the ribbon cable tells you which end pin 1 is on. Which end you plug pin 1 in on the drive SHOULD be labeled on the circuit board: most will have a 1 on one end of the connector and a 32 (or whatever number the pin at the other end is) on the other side. This would be more reliable than the "closest to the power supply" principle.
