Funny how, in talking about a problem someone else is having, you come across something you might have a problem with yourself!! Are there different IDE cables for ATA 133 hard drives than ATA 66/100? Reason I ask is that I've got an 80gb ATA 133 drive as my master and 20gb ATA 100 as it's slave, and I'm using the same cable I had when I had the 20mb drive as the master and an 8gb ATA 100 as the slave.
