What could be the reason? I have tried everything but it is no use because it can't recognise the drive.

The hard drive is new, only about 5 months old. If you do not know anything please do not post silly answers.

ur harddrive isnt beeping its the board. Try going into bios and seeing if its recognized. If its not play with the jumper on the drive. Its the tiny white rectangle that covers two pins close to where u plug the power into the harddrive. Keep checkin in the BIOS to see if its recognized. Hope this helps. If not hopefully the warenty is still good. Theres no reason u "should" have to change the jumper settings, but i would do it just to make sure.

Some hard drives last years some last months. If I were a betting man, I would guess that the HD has crashed.
Best bet.....put a new one in and slave the old one to it. That way you just might be able to recover some of the files.
Good Luck with it.

Your HD might be on its way out. Try setting your BIOS to boot from CD using your WinXP installation disc, and see if the HD is recognised in the setup program. Also, check to see if you motherboard needs drivers to recognise HDs in certain port. On my own computer, HDs are not recognised until these drivers are installed.
