When i boot my machine i get " Primary Hard Disk Drive 0 not found and Primary Hard Disk Drive 1 not found ". I took out the HD and plugged it into another computer via usb and it looked fine, i even reformated and stuck it back in the PC but no fix. so i put another HD in the pc, still no fix. i tried changing the cable, nothing. i CAN boot from CD-Rom. went into the bios, doesnt read the any hard drives. i also done the ALT+E ALT+B ALT+F and let it reboot but still didnt help. the computer is a dell, bios is phoenix version 1.10 A04. like i said booting from the Cd-rom is fine because i tried to reinstall windows but it too also could not find and hard disk. im not sure what else i can do. i assume it must be something in the mobo but i have no idea how to find out other then this process of elimination.
