Seagate Harddisk Not detected

Some master hard drive have a master only jumper setting.
Also check if the master is set to cable select.
Sometimes hard drives from different companies don't get along, try putting
the drive on the CD-ROM cable.

I have a compaq EVO Machine I am trying to add a 40GB
Seagate hardisk.

I set the jumpers to Slave and Boot the Computer. Welcome
screen hangs and I cant even go to BIOS to check if the
HDD has been detected.

When I remove the disk it functions ok.

Is this a HDD Damage ( I thought these HDDs are not that
too fragile). If so can I recover it. This is just a 6
month old HDD.

Thanks

The jumper in the original disk may be set to "only." If that's
the case and you add a slave, you have to change it to "master."
