Possibly the drive is not making contact with the socket. You
could take out the drive, try and clean the contacts you can get
to with a Q-Tip and alcohol, and put it back.

Or the drive may have failed. I bought a refurbished laptop and
it had a weird drive problem: the machine could access the drive, but
could not read from it. The vendor replaced the drive by mail and
all is copacetic now. So things do happen. . . .

If it's a software problem, I can't help.
