Bluescreen, and HDD is gone.

System: Dell DXP051
Bios Ver: A07
RAM: 2GB
Process: Interl Pentium D CPU 2.80 GHZ
OS: windows XP Media Central ver. 2002, service pack 2
HDD : Samsung HD501LJ / SATA / 500 GB

I don't know how to describe this problem correctly, but let me try my best.

I go the blue screen (unfortunately I forgot to write down the error message) with some error messages, with "physical memory dump" thing. After that, I reboot, it countinously gives out "Drive 0: No drive detected" message.

I fixed this problem previously - with my windows CD, with recovery console, by using FIXBOOT. I tried to do same thing, but I found out even boot with CD, was not possible. After reading several things, the screem stoped at "windows is starting..." messages.

MY HDD is less than 6 monthes old, so I think it is really hard to be a physical damage.

check the cable to the drive is secure
try a new cable
