Hi Norman

I suspect a hardware issue in this case. That's a message I've had come up 
when the bios couldn't read the hdd. In my case it was remedied by checking 
the ide cables. Make sure they're securely in place. If need be, u may need 
to take them off from both the mobo and drive and put them back. Mybe nothing 
more than having worked a lil loose or a tarnished contact
