Not detecting a HDD

Hello,



I was restarting my desktop after it got stuck in a frozen screen. Upon

reboot it loaded up with a blank screen. In hindsight I think I might

have restarted during an install of a windows update, which could have

ended up screwing the main configuration of the comp. I decided to go

for a wipe of the hard drive (had a fresh backup) and re-install. Yet I

have no C: listed



The HDD is fine (No weird noises.), it makes a healthy spooling up sound

on startup, but thats it. Its just on a year old, 500 GB Seagate, it is

not SATA drive so there shouldnt be any drivers needed.



Is there an obvious fix for this problem? From looking on the net I

would imagine that I would have to play around with my BIOS settings,

I'll admit that I would be out of my league and would probably

accidently blow my computer up. If I need to do it I might need a

straightforward set of instructions.



Thanks in advance,

Dan
