if the operating system is loaded check that you can see it listed in the bios,if not check the cable has not come loose
try a new cable
if you are trying to load an operating system on a sata drive you need to load a driver with f6 and set it up in the bios

go here http://www.techsupportforum.com/hard...utilities.html

select your hard drive makers drive diagnostic utility and run it against the drive to evaluate the mechanical fitness of your drive >>>> especailly the extended or full test

try another cable and try discharge the electrical of your motherboard,if didn't work, use software to check the disk's mbr, ＆ check if the disk had bad cluster?
