    Once you`re in the bios.

    Up at the top there are different options you can choose. One of them is named advanced, choose that and the screen should change, once it does, look on that screen to see if your hard drive is listed.

    Example: ( If you had a 500 GB Western Digital hard drive, it would read something WD50012345. )

    The list will look something like this.

    IDE Master
    IDE Slave
    Sata 1
    Sata 2
    Sata 3
    Sata 4 etc.

    If it`s not there, that is the problem and why it won`t boot into windows.

    Possibly.

    Don`t see why just dropping it will have damaged it but....

    Sorry but are you joking? Of course it will damage it.

    You will need a new hard drive.

    in boot tab- in boot priority you can change your boot list to first boot with dvd drive, if you want to install a fresh installation from dvd





    in storage configuration you can see all of HDD detected in your system

    He's already said he can't see the hard drive in the BIOS so hows he going to install Windows on it...

    He need's a new hard drive before he can do anything.

    if you cannt find it there, maybe the cables got loose, open your system and tighten them up
