[SOLVED] No hard disk or Optical Device is visible in BootMenu ,Primary hard disk error

[kaushalkarki]

I opened my pc after a year it got stuck in boot process. I opened Bios setting Atapi Cd/dvd driver got auto detected but no hard disk then i unplug cables and replugged them, then the bios detected hard disk and my usb stick as well not sure about optical drive. So i started booting Window 7 from usb stick , Repair my computer didn't work so i clicked on install now. Setup started and after a moment installation got stucked in middle error code was missing files. After reset, I can't see my hard disk in boot priority menu, although it is detected by bios but its giving error code Master Primary Disk Error and boot option only showing my usb stick. Earlier i was able to see my disk when the window asked where do you want to install the window but now its blank. So what is the problem in my case is it related with motherboard or hard disk or bios. My optical drive is mechanically working( coming in and out) but not visible in boot menu. As for my hard disk ,its visible in Sata/Ide configuration in bios but not visible in boot menu option. How to deal with Primary Hard disk Error?

Nothing seems to be working the way it should. You will need to test each component one at a time in a known working system and then go from there.

you HDD may have crashed... if you have an external enclosure move it there and check if it's detected but I suspect it has failed
