Can't use Dual Hard Drives at the same time. Partition tables?

I feel like there must be a simple solution for this, but I just can't find it. I have two hard drives in my laptop, one with Windows 7/Ubuntu in mbr format, the other with Snow Leopard in (i assume) guid format. When I start the computer, it invariably reboots once, and then boots onto the Windows drive, but cannot see the mac drive. If I take the Windows drive out, Mac boots perfectly. If i change a bios option from "Enhanced" to "Compatible" I can see both drives, but booting from Mac gives me a kernel panic.

 

So basically my problem is that I have to change a bios setting before booting into Snow Leopard, and I can't see my Snow Leopard drive in Windows, although I can see my Windows drive in Snow Leopard.

 

I'd really appreciate any help.
