hp dv7 hd formating gone wrong
in short, I used software dban to wipe the hd,reinstalled the os, now it will not reconize the hd as a bootable deive,will boot from dvd only but thats all, what steps did I miss or did I do a nonrecoverabl deed.I cannot even open devicemanger to check if its even seeing it at all,or can I use some other hd formating tool, and redo this again,the right way I hope,the reason I did this was they told me the original hd was dead,found a used one a friend had and was tring to get it back up and running for my wife.Please help if you can, thank you
