Problem "Un-cloning" HD

Wanted to replace my full primary HD with a larger one. Cloned a new drive
as an external, replaced original internal with the new drive. Had some
problems (more on this later), decided to go back and reclone newer drive.

Removed new cloned drive, replace with original.

Now when I boot with the original, I get, after a VERY long pause, "Primary
drive not found - Strike F1 to continue, F2 to run Setup Utility"

If I hit F1, the system continues to load just fine. Explorer shows
everything as it should be, Device Manager shows no problems, this device
working properly, etc., etc.

The original HD was jumpered as cable select. Also tried jumpering as
master (only). No joy.

FWIW - originally, I had a second internal HD which I have left out until
this present situation is straightened out.

Any suggestions as to what's going on would be appreciated.

position)
