HDD failure - Pls Help

[wide angle]

Hi Guys,

good day to all of you.

I encountered error on my PC days ago.
the problem was, its not booting or detecting my HD. So what I did, I replace a new one (40g). I installed and started my PC. the message on screen was

Detecting Primary IDE - NONE

I tried to configure in BIOS through AUTO DETECT - and its not detecting.

What was the problem? Could it be from
MOBO, CPU or What??

My PC is Pentium III-450mhz

Thanks for your valuable input.

Have you correctly set the Jumper to master?

on other PC.

What type of Hard Drive is the new 40gig. ? If it is Western Digital and the only drive on the PC you must remove the jumper.
