the BIOS shows booting options,hard drive,dvdcdr and usb.etc when i boot up the system i can see the hard drive light indicator lighting up for few minutes and then it just goes blank..when i run chkdsk in cmd on windows diagnostic utilities.it only shows disk 0 - which is the USB am booting from and doesnt show HDD.
