Did you set the jumper(s) on the back of the primary master to single drive, sometimes the setting for the drive to be master is different.

In the bios have you set the bios not to look for a primary slave disk, if you have set the actual parameters of the HD in the bios that'll make it fail. Also make sure you have the secondary IDE channel enabled and the secondary drive set to auto or do a manual detect in the bios.

There's a few things to try..

those suggestions didn't work?

try enabling "reset configuration" somewhere in the BIOS setup, that should fix any problems with the DMI pool

If your OS is Windows 95 or Windows 98, get your boot up floppy disk. Boot into floppy then issue a sys c: then reboot.
