is your hard drive listed in the bios?

 

[iTz_Midge]

In the bios there are two hard drives shown, Main Hard Drive and USB Hard Drive. Are either of these it?

 

[ffg7]

what does it show for main hard drive? what does it show for the boot sequence for hard drive 1st, dvd drive 2nd or what? is the time & date correct in the bios?

 

[iTz_Midge]

1. Main hard drive
2. USB floppy drive
3. Cdrom/dvd
4.boot to lan
5. USB storage stick
6. USB hard drive
And yes, the date and time are correct.

what is the make & model# of the hard drive like Seagate or western digital as should be listed under main hard drive?

 

[iTz_Midge]

The make is WD scorpio blue and the model number is WD2500BEVT-22ZCTO.

is that shown in the bios orb did you open the laptop to read that info off the drive?

 

[iTz_Midge]

I had to open my laptop up, i couldn't find that info in the bios.

 

[ffg7]

try reseating the drive back into the laptop to see if seen by the bios. if still not seen then connect to another computer internally(secondary drive) or externally via a usb drive enclosure to see if the drive & data is seen on that computer as had to do that a number of times for customers.

 

[iTz_Midge]

I put the drive back in and nothing happened and i don't have another pc that i can put the drive into, what should i do?

 

[ffg7]

how about a friend's computer especially a desktop that has sata ports available for testing purposes. what are you using to post to this site, a cell phone or a tablet?

 

[iTz_Midge]

I'm using a cellphone and my only friend that owns a computer lives in a different state.

 

[ffg7]

get a usb 2.5" drive sata enclosure like in this list http/www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?cPath=14_202 & use a friend's laptop to see if can access your hard drive. what is the make & model# of your laptop?
