Have you got another hard drive around the house?

Try using different Sata ports in the mobo too. It could be a faulty drive or maybe even a faulty port. First thing would be to check if another hard drive works.

sadly i do not...i just bought what i needed for the computer and didnt expect to have HDD problems lol of all things, but the wierd thing is, is that it recognizes it when i first boot it up (on the black screen with white letter only)....but then when i go into BIOS under advance and the storage options.....it only sees the dvd drive :thumbsup:
