Strange behaviour.

I bought a new 250 Gb WD (Sata II - my mobo is an Asus A8V Sata I - I just felt this is worth mentioning), and sat it next to my 120 Gb Segate. I decided to step up to ntfs, so I did, I formated the WD using ntfs(while my Segate where Windows and the rest of the stuff is on was fat32). This is where the problems appeared, I started to get stuff like "unable to write" "onable to copy" when games crashed or any other random stuff happened ( I belive that somehow the ntfs "security" didn't allow this kind of file management on it from a fat32). I said to myself that it has to be a compatibility problem between the fat 32 Segate and the ntfs WD so I formated the first and now both are ntfs. While moving stuff around back and forth I got a new error "i/o error can't copy file ....". Can this be a cable problem ? I also ran WD diagnostic tools and only my Segate hdd is recognised (ironic isn't it..)
I am sorry for my spelling, I am really in a rush but I thank in advance for any usefull advices.
 
just a stab in the dark.. but..
unplug the seagate and try the wd diag again.
