hda is the master drive on IDE0.  hdb is the slave on IDE0.
hdc is the master drive on IDE1.  hdd is the slave on IDE1.

It looks like you need to swap the cables on the motherboard end.  hdc
then becomes hda.

On a computer with only a single hard drive and a single CD-ROM, the
standard is to have the hard drive be the master on IDE0 and the CD to
be the master on IDE1.
