Asus f3jc internal hdd problem

[aeoliann]

Hello everyone,
I have a quite old laptop, formatted it last week then again it slowed down and tried to format it with windows7 boost DVD today again. It started installing the files then at the first restart it has stucked at the first ASUS logo screen. I tried taking out the DVD, taking off battery pressing power button 10 secs etc nothing worked. I disconnected 100gb internal seagate hdd then I could pass Asus logo screen, it runs boost DVD, I insert internal hdd again but it doesn't recognize it. I connect an external drive but get a warning cannot install windows to a drive connected via USB something like that.
I'm quite desperate at the moment , should I change the internal hdd or something else, any offers comments please? Thanks

Firstly, go to your bios during boot up while the hard drive is installed, and see if you have just disabled it or if it is something more serious.
