THe hardrive stopped responding dianositics,spinrite, nothing would fix. So i purchased a new one for it here:

Is there something I am missing why wont the computer detect the new hard drive?

have you tried to connect the drive to another computer?

maybe it is the laptop motherboard that has a problem.

How did you transfer the OS from the old HDD on to the new HDD? Did you 'clone' the old drive?
