when i was formatting my pc , i accidentally press the reset button and suddenly my pc cant recognize my hard disk anymore both on bios and diskmanagement (i put in on another computer) ,,, someone help if i can recover my new hard disk
 
Solution
Yeah, if the drive is not recognized by BIOS and Disk Management on two machines, then the drive has failed. So, you can RMA it if it is under warranty.

Hi there lordah,

I would totally agree with hang-the-9.

In case your HDD is not recognized by BIOS, you will not be able to access it with software tools.
One thing you can try is to double check the connection. You can use different cables(both SATA and power ones) and attach it to another SATA port.
In case the issue persists and the drive is a new one, I believe you can either contact the place you got it from or the manufacturer's Support.

Cheers,

That is really strange. As your previous HDD was doing the same thing even when attached to another system, then there should have been something wrong with the HDD.

Have you tried using different cables(both SATA and power ones)? It may be a good idea to try that. Also, you can use another port.
Check if it is recognized and how under Disk Management, Device Manager and BIOS.(when using different cables and ports)
