problems accessing bios after hdd install

Help me please!

I am having problems accessing my bios after attempting to install a new IDE hard drive. After initially installing the drive, it was acting funky but was recognized by bios but I could not format the drive. Now when I try to access bios during a normal start up I get a black screen saying “sorry windows could not… because of a hardware change. Since, i have completely removed the drive from the computer and device mananger, etc. I don’t know where to start, any suggestions would be helpful. Thank You
