[mickaboy72]

i have acer aspire 4750g

my laptop hanged so i have to force shutdown it.
so after that, (i think) the OS corrupt.

then i planned to reformat.
but when it comes to selecting drive
no drives appeared.

my bios is set to achi
i tried loading the achi driver controller
but nothing appears

i tried also the
diskpart
list disk

it said that there is no disk active (something like that)

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.

Is the drive recognised in the BIOS?

Press the DEL or F1 key (sometimes both) during startup to get you into the BIOS settings.

i can't post a screen shot.
cause i can't boot the laptop.
and also i tried to format it by winxp
i successfully deleted/format the partition c:
but when i'm installing it (i planned to use the upgrade to win7 that's why i use winxp)
it comes with an error about my disk

Check the hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.

Its common for hard drives to give up in laptops, heat & being moved don't help.

You do not need XP on the HD to use Win7 Upgrade version: Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version

What makes you think your HD is bad? Did you run the HD diagnostics/repair extended CD scan linked by Theog?
