Not that I know of inside XP, but you can sure as hell tell from inside BIOS. Restart your PC and go into BIOS (usually by pressing delete, F5, or F8) and check the hardware specs. Your current hard drive and CD-ROM will be listed. There will be a Primary Master, Primary Slave, Secondary Master, and Secondary Slave position in BIOS. If your hard drive is in either the Primary Master or Secondary Master slot, then it's set as Primary.
Or, since you're installing the new Seagate anyway, just take off the case and look at the jumper settings on the hard drive. It will say if it's set as Master or Slave. The Seagate will have jumper settings on it too. Make sure to set it as master or slave depending on where you put it on the cable!
