Re: laptop can't find hard drive.

i did it it says hdd not detected. but its there.
You did what? Ran the manufacturer diagnostics?

There could be a problem with the drive.

-Remove the power and battery
-Press and hold the power button for 30-45 seconds
-Remove the hard drive and re-insert making sure connected properly
-Install the battery and see if any changes
