It might be possible that both devices are sharing the same IDE 
controller which could make the problems with one disk seem to be 
effecting the other drive as well. I had an old 486 with a X2 CD burner 
effecting the bus and appearing as the problem was with the disk. This 
was on a computer with only one controller though.

Are you removing the one expected failed disk and swapping in the dd 
copied disk or using both disks at once on the system?
