hi friends.
whenever i start my pc. "intel desktop board" was shown in the monitor
when i check in bios, no hard disk is detected. my primay ide controller is cd-rom.and secondary is hard disk. but hard-disk is not shown. if had to restart 3-4 times then i can see the os login page.
i had change the jumper in hard-disk to master /slave. but when i agin start pc .same problem occurs.
wat to do?

as a first step ..
change the IDE cable ..the cable which connects yr hdd and cdrom..
yr problem will be solved...also donot play with jumpers..
