Change your Jumper Configuration On the hard drive.

1. Power Off PC and uplug it.
2. Open Case Locate Hard Drive.
3. Unplug 40 pin IDE cable and 4 pin power cable
4. Unscrew Harddrive from rack.
5. Remove Harddrive and look at the side with the pins
6. You will see a set of 6 pins with a plastic "jumper" connecting two of them look at the sticker on your Hard-drive and you should see configurations for the jumper, set it to master by removing the "jumper" and placing it as the pictures shows for the master setting.
7. Re-mount, Re-plug, Close the case, Plug Power Cable.
8. Power on and enter Bios
9. Make sure Bios "sees" the drive and it is set to master.
10. Exit without save and Boot.

What is the role of jumper in installation of hard disk?

Jumpers are used with the IDE (aka P-ATA) drives (hard disks or other drives like DVD recorder) . There can be two drives on the same cable with this norm, a master and a slave. The controller of the disk need to know if it is supposed to be the master or the slave. Jumpers are set to this purpose. There is a special mode called "cable select" where the position on the cable determines the mode (disk at the end of the cable is master, disk in the middle of the cable is slave)
