After you enter the BIOS usually by pressing either [F2] or [DEL], the first screen you see will list the drives which your BIOS can detect. You CD/DVD drive would have a label like "DVD-ROM XXXXX", hard disks will be depending on brand say for example if its a seagate it will read [STXXXXXXX] X being a series of numbers or for Western Digital its [WDXXXXX] X being a series of numbers.

If you can see that the BIOS detects your hard disk then you have hooked it up correctly. If you still cannot boot then there's something wrong with the installed operating system or your hard disk is damaged.

If the BIOS cannot detect your hard disk then it is either hooked up wrong or your hard disk is damaged.
