Another thread somewhere suggested it might be a power supply issue, that is, not enough power, which I guess I can test by removing the 2nd HD. The power supply is new, 460W.

Well, best way to find out that is to hook up a voltage meter and check
You can often see the voltages in the BIOS too, but I prefer a good ol' voltage meter (Yellow is 12V, Red is 5V, black is ground).

Bios update? (there are a couple of newer versions available)

Of course, this never hurts.

Question about MHDD: if the problem is not the drive itself, but somewhere in the connection between the drive and the processor, will that be shown by the test, or will the test register that the drive is bad when it may not be? After I run the MHDD test, I'll run memtest.

MHDD is no magic tool. An error is an error. It's up to you to find the cause.
As a sidenote, the real problem are the top three lines (ata2: port not ready, ad4: device detached)...
