Try this, check the jumpers for your harddrive..
Some makes have this stupid master/slave/CS set Instead of being straight forward master or slave, they have single drive, Master with slave, etc... Really stupid :P So make sure it isnt Master With Slave or similar, and just set it to Master/Single only

The harddrive should be master not the DVD-rom..
Once set to master, go into your bios and make sure it sees the harddrive and change the bootorder to boot from IDE-0 or HDD-0

well i replaced the cables of the master and the slave and rbooted the comp the computer goes into windows but in the bios it still shows pata master as dvd and pata slave as hdd.there is no option there to change it manually(in the drive config screen in bios).so i disconnected the ide of the dvd rom and went into bios and there it showed the pata master and slave both not detected.well my friend says here i should reset bios to default so the bios will now take the hdd as the master and not detect the slave.should i do this ? even if i do it how will i change it again when i reconnect the dvd drive as u cant change the settings of master and slave in the drive config option inthe BIOS.

It's not that the cables you have to replace to change the master setting, it's a lil piece of plastic on a set of pins on the back of the harddrive/dvd drive whatever that you have to change, if you've had hard drive on slave all this time, when you put it on master you'll provably notice a performance increase.
