BACK STORY :

so i was playing CSGO and my pc crashed with blue screen error 7A, and when i tried to reboot it showed disk read error press ctrl+alt+del to restart and same came again.
so i connected my windows installation usb and went into repair drive it showed no boot found, so i went into installing windows it showed my boot partition blank so i just pressed format again it took some time and whole 3 partitions of hard drive disappeared and gave me msg no hard drive were found.

now:

when restarted installation while loading the partition page of windows installation the hard drive partitions shows up and when loading finishes again the partition disappears.

so i tried the cmd method and formatted whole hard drive now it showed up in windows installation but again when i was about to make the partition it again disappeared.

i got tired of that hide sick with hard drive for last 2-3 hours finally decided to post here for help


note : hard drive is in IDE MODE as in ACHI mode the installation setup kind of dosent work/stops working

Yes
additional info : hard drive has no abnormal sounds, also when i first power up pc it shows in bios but if i reboot the pc it wont show, but if i turn off the main power plug and again turned it on and booted then the bios shows the hard drive.

[strike]im pretty sure it's the HDD. have you tested it in another system yet?[/strike]
d'oh! i guess you glued it nevermind.
but HDD's don't have to sound bad to be bad, sometimes the logic fails or the head sometimes snaps off, rarely but can happen without much of a sound.
