The computer keeps telling me there is no hard drive and the bios setup says it nis not in hd mode.
Where is the hd and how do i remove or replace it
 
Check your boot order in the BIOS and ensure that the hard drive is number 2 in the order behind the CD drive. If the hard drive needs to be replaced, you should be able to locate right underneath a fairly sizable panel on the underside of the laptop.
 

The boot order is correct and the only removable panels on the underside are for the battery and the RAM
