If its you're only hard drive then you will need to set your new drive as the master. If you setting it as a second hard drive then you need to set it for which drive you're going to use it as.
Example :
2 HDD - 40 GB and 80 GB
Using the 40 GB as you're main drive and your 80 GB as a backup / storage drive, then your configuration will be
40 GB - Master Jumper Selected
80 GB - Secondary Master (SM) Selected
or if you're using your 80 GB as your main drive then you want
80 GB - Master Jumper Selected
40 GB - Secondary Master (SM) Selected
If you're just simply replacing the 40 GB with the 80 GB then put the 80 GB as the master and simply remove the 40 GB.
