IF the bios cant locate it then perhaps the cable inside your tower got disconnected.

Read that and run the fix.

And if it is detected inside of Device Manager, then it is definitely detected in the BIOS.

try and see if you can install the latest drivers and/or firmware for the drive.

HellasVagabond · Apr 21, 2009, 04:46 PM

If it is not detected in the BIOS and the cables are ok then its dead.

Look at the screenshot, it is detected in Windows, why would you assume it isn't detected in the BIOS?

Have you ever seen a drive be detected in Windows, but not in the BIOS?
