Hard Drive Suddenly not Recognized
My Dell was running fine until Sunday morning when I woke up to a blue screen on my computer stating that there was a disk error. Upon restarting, the computer would not boot windows. BIOS doesn't detect the hard drive (Seagate Barracuda 7200.10) in SATA-0. Therefore, I can't boot from CD because no hard drive is detected. Problem is not the motherboard because the BIOS recognize the DVD ROM when plugged into either SATA-0 or SATA-1. SATA cable is also good. Hard drive is spinning and getting power. I pulled the PCB off of the hard drive and it shows no signs of being burnt. Any idea what is going on here?
Thanks!

Thanks again!
Also you could use BART PE to burn an image to cd or USB drive and check if it fails to see it as well.
