I don't follow why you get a 'successfully installed bios'? Who or what is
*installing* a bios? Have you a scsi card playing in here?
"primary master hard disk fail" is strictly a hardware / motherboard issue,
It is NOT bootware related. You have some sort of hardware conflict with this
'new' drive. Eg two drives are masters, or some such. Check your drive
selections CS / MA / SL on each drive that's on the same cable. You have an
old sblaster card with it's ide set to the wrong address, you have a udma66
controller in addition to motherboard, etc etc. This is hardware conflict.
