Hi,there
I have a same problem with you. let's solve it together

i have tried it in another computer and the hard disk is not being detected.

if its happened normally you can say the harddisk dead. so 1st you need to confirm it.

yep the hard disk is dead how can iget the information in it?

..buy a new hard disk..no more head aches!..^_^..

Is there a floppy disk in the drive and have your gone into the CMOS and verified the system sees the disks and the order they are booting?
