    Well then It could be as Dell said a loose power or data connection of the data HD or it has failed.
    Check those video links I gave you. Then see if you can easily inspect the location of that HD.


    Edit: Make sure the computer is Powered OFF! when you inspect the HD.

    it seems have not recognized any other HDD..
    it must have unattached, you must open the bot and check the connectors they may hopefully got loos. otherwise it may have gone.
    if the connectivity is okey, then try to attach your HDD to another computer and make sure its not dead!

    I have resolved the issue, a friend suggested unplugging the laptop, removing the battery and pressing the power button to drain the "capacitors". I am not sure of how this fixed my issue, or even what caused it, but I now have full access to my HDD. Thank you all for the assistance.
