Hello,
my laptop(Dell Inspiron - 1525) while booting says hard disk not detected.....it all happened suddenly ..nothing was wrong with my hard disk as well...my notebook is 6 or 7 months old (WDC WD2500BEVS-75UST0).
the mesage while booting says.......Cannot find a bootable device. I don't think its the controller as I connected another harddisk to the same notebook and no problems were encountered. However, connecting my harddisk to another notebook came up with the same message: Cannot find a bootable device.

Any suggestions? I really need to recover my data.

Configuration: Windows 7 Internet Explorer 8.0

Dear Sir,

The problem, from the information that you provided, is actually that your hard drive is not being detected and

this could be from various issues. The first thing that you will have to confirm is whether it is not a hardware

problem. Please look whether the hard drive is well connected and if there is correct power supply to it for it to

function properly. Also check the configuration settings. If all these are correct, please get to BIOS and change

the SATA mode to IDE. You should get to your SATA Devices Configuration in order to change it. Unselect the

RAID and select the IDE. This should normaly set the actual trouble right.

Thanks in advance.
