    Hard disk not detected by BIOS


    Hi

    I tried to serach my problem on the forum but couln't find a solution.So request you all to help please.

    My laptop was working fine until last night.But when i switched it on this morning i got "operating system not found error message".
    I tried to fix the problem by using windows recovery tools but wasn't successfull.Then i noticed that BIOS is not detecting my hard drive.
    Everytime i boot i am getting "operating system not found message".

    Can anyone suggest how to get my system working.I have a sony vaio FZ series laptop.

    Hello,

    Try taking the hard drive out, and installing it in another machine. If it is detected, copy all your data over to the other machine.

    If it's not detected, purchase a new drive.

    Maybe take your VAIO Laptop to a VAIO Service Center. (may do a research on the Sony Website) on whereabouts to find a service center - may replace HDD for you.

    I was going to suggest removing and reseating the HDD. This happened to me with a Dell. It died eventually but at least I was able to get what I needed off of it first.
