On a hard drive, you have options to set a jumper. It is a plastic piece that contact two pins on the plug side of the hard disk. This jumper specifies if the hard disk is Primary, Secondary, or Cable Select. If you select Primary, this is telling your computer to boot from this disk (Usually containing the operating system). Secondary is telling the computer that this drive is only for extra storage and cable select means your computer will determine based on the order of which it's plugged in. (Not recommended if you know what the drive is going to be used for)
Go the website of the company that manufactured your drives. Find the correct jumper settings and set the jumper for the one you want as master at the master pin and plug the main IDE cable into it. if you want to run the other as slave, find the correct jumper setting for slave, then plug the second IDE cable into it.

The proper way to use jumper cables to boost a low/dead battery: (1) one end of positive jumper cable to "dead" battery; (2) opposite end of positive jumper cable to "good" battery; (3) one end of negative jumper cable to "good" battery; (4) opposite end of negative jumper cable to GROUND on "dead" vehicle. Remove jumper cables in reverse order.
