Check the hard drive cables are connected securely and if you can get hold of another drive see if it sees that when plugged in, make sure the pc is turned off before plugging in or taking them out, pretty good chance your hard drive has died.

This always happens to our desktop computer at home. What i always do to fix the problem was to, reconnect the IDE cable of the hard disk. Works fine.
