Hello and welcome to Tom's Hardware Forums.

In BIOS, hunt down a setting for AHCI and change it to IDE and hope BIOS can recognise the disk. Seems to me you have two choices. Then, if Microsoft can't mount your hard disk, either take it out and run Checkdisk on it in another system - transferring your personal files while you can if you have the choice - or run a LiveCD of a Linux OS which probably could mount the disk.

The first and most important thing is to get BIOS to be able to "see" the disk.
