The fact that your laptop is trying to boot from PXE (network) shows that your HD isn't detected by BIOS. All you can do is unplug and plug in the cable(s) connecting the HD.

There is a slight chance that the cable is broken and needs to be replaced, but that usually happens only if you are frequently exchanging your HD. (twisting and turning of the cable might lead to wire break)



Sorry for the delay.. didn't get the notice of your reply for some reason.
