HDD not detected? It was working last night.
Computer has been running for 5 months no problem.
Last night, I shutdown computer. Today, I start computer. Computer says "No boot device detected!" I look into BIOS, and it's not detecting my HDD in the SATA list. HDD Specs: - Seagate Barracuda 500GB 32mb Cache 7200RPM SATA I already tried different SATA and power cable to the HDD, but that did not help. Any suggestions??? Also, the HDD has a label titled Installation Summary, it says: Quote:
Your help on this matter is much appreciated, Thank you.

The only thing that jumper does is limit it to sata 1 speed. Can you feel the hard drive spin up as you turn your computer on? If not, then the drive is dead or you have a bad psu power connector.

The power supply and computer is fine. I hooked up a HDD from my other computer and I'm running on that at the moment.

Issue resolved.
Problem: Bad firmware - SD15 on 7200.11 Seagate Barracuda drives. Summary: - After stumbling about Seagate website for a couple days, I managed to pack and send my hard-drive to their i365 Data Recovery center. - They requested not to use any peanuts or bubble-wrap, so I was clueless as to how to actually package my hard-drive. UPS Store packed it in a foam material they found lying around on the floor, it's the only other thing the lady working there could find. It worked - sent the package. - Seagate paid for shipping to their center. - Took about 3 days. They unstuck my hard-drive from the loop. Flashed new firmware onto my HDD. And sent it back to me. - UPS came on Friday, missed me. I had to wait all weekend before UPS came back with my HDD. - Hooked it up today. HDD is working, my files are still here.
