Hi
Im sorry I dont think I explained very well.
Yes I know when you format one has to reload the HDD from the boot disk.
My problem the system cannot find the HDD even if I load the boot disk it
tells me no HDD detected.
Been on to manufacture and they want me to send it to one of there workshops
and there would be a charge.
I thought there was a program to reset the bios if this is where the problem
maybe

You misunderstood my post. You need to set your BIOS to boot from CD as the
first boot device. Then you can re-install your OS....
 
Yes have tried that still get same message: Setup did not find any hard disk
drives.
As I said previously I tried a HDD that I know is working ok.

Then I suggest you check the connecting cable to the HDD to make sure it's
a) not unplugged and b) replace with a known good one...
