Default Harddisk Detected but cant boot

i can see my hdd (not sata i think) 40gb, in bios setup n it is easliy detected at startup as seagate st34XXXXX....but on booting os xp loading screen comes for 2-3sec n system restarts....

i tried reinstalling xp but while partition selection it detects hdd and its size but says "setup cannot access this disk"....n does not display any partition....

wat can b done abt this?

my system is-
p4 1.8ghz @ intel 845GV chipset,
256mb ddr,
ati radeon pro 9200 series 128mb

and...

hdd is connected as primary master...
dvd rom is sec master
cd-rw as sec slave...
