Hi,
When you put the new hard drive in, did you also set the
primary hard drive as master? Also when you startup, go
to your bios and confirm that hard drive is there listed
under primary slave. If you have 2 IDE channels on your
motherboard, you can set the new hard drive on the second
channel with the default jumper settings, then in your
Bios you should see primary master and secondary master.
