I hope you have your original system disk came with your computer. You will need these to reinstall the operating system. Replacing a hard drive is relatively simple. Best buy, Circuit City, staples or Office Depot sell them. You can pick up a 300 GB for about $90.

Enter the bios as you boot {usually by pressing F2} and see if the drive is listed as installed. If it is plugged in (power and ribbon) , the jumper is set correctly on the back, and it is recognized in the bios, the drive is probably dead. Also, make sure the ribbon cable is plugged into pci 0., usually colored with a blue socket.

i'm assuming which you place it into the different laptop to acquire some records. i'm additionally assuming that this perplexing stress got here with a disc (application). attempt reformatting the hard drive and reinstaling it returned into the gateway.
