Drive 0 not found: Serial ATA, SATA-0?

The BIOS cannot find the hard drive specified in the boot order in order to boot an Operating System.

Switch on and hit Del (or F2 if you have a Dell). You will enter the BIOS. look for the hard drive menu and check:

1. To make sure the BIOS can see yr hard drive. You have probly just the one; in slot 0 on yr motherboard.

2. To make sure this drive has been selected to boot from first in the boot order. Take out any floppy disks from the floppy drive if this device is higher in the order.

If no drive is recognised, check inside the case and make sure the SATA cable is secure at both ends (motherboard slot and hard drive). Check the power cable too. Turn the PC on and hold the hard drive - can you feel/hear it spin up? If not then it may be dead...

Try a spare drive in the slot and boot to BIOS to see if it is recognised. If it is then you have a faulty drive...

Remember, this spare drive will not boot an OS - it's just to check recognition in BIOS.

Good luck.

You need to find the drivers for your drive on the manufacturer's website. As far as getting the disk out, take a paper clip and bend it into a straight line. You should see a small hole on the front of the drive. Put the paper clip in there and push. If done correctly the drawer of the drive will come out.

you have to go into your BIOS and configure it, does the hard drive have a jumper block?

if its a SATA hard drive, you dont have to worry about jumpers

If it was working before, it is probably a corrupt boot sector or the drive isn't formatted..

Most likely the hard drive has failed.
