How can I resolve this problem? The hard drive used to be my OS drive, but due to some failed tinkering, the system no longer reads it. However, I suspect there is still some life in it since I can view it in the BIOS.

What can I do to get the system to see the drive, and hopefully format it?
 
Solution
if you have windows 10 from another pc make windows mwdia creation tool. make a bootable usb stick then use dos diskpart tools to see if it sees the drive and any data.
