Problem Booting?

I tried replacing my slave hd with a bigger one and accidentally plugged the blank into my master plug with my master drive out. I know I know... I thought I could just plug back up to my main drive and restart and move on. I was wrong. Now when the PC is powered on, it detects hardware, boots CDROM, then Primary HD. Only problem is when it opens the HD, the cursor that normally only blinks a few times before windows starts, blinks forever and ever and never boots windows. Thinking this was a drive issue, I replaced the drive with another HD with WINXP and got the same results. I then performed a disk scan and windows had no damaged files.

Here are some specs on my PC in case it might help:

NOTE: I have tried to swap drives, repair with recovery console, and many other methods of finding whatever this little problem may be that is keeping me from getting into windows. If anyone has any advice or knows what it may be, PLEASE reply to this. THANKS!

Make sure the jumper on the new slave drive is set correctly and check the boot order in BIOS.

Jumpers are set correctly and the boot order is FLOPPY, CD ROM, HDD. I have tried several times to repair using Recovery Console with no luck. I have Puppy Linux which allowed me to back up my data, but for some reason every time I attempt to start up it detects the drives normally and goes to the black screen with the blinking cursor. I have looked on several forums and found a few people with this problem but never found a solution...
