Bios does not show HDD - LG X-Note LM50 Notebook

Need to reinstall windows.

Does it makes any kind of sound when you boot? Is the HDD frozen or is it password protected? If it makes a clicking sound when you boot the computer then the HDD pointer inside the HDD is stuck.
If you can get to the BIOS, you can delete any password from the BIOS. If the HDD does not shows up in the BIOS, then your HDD is probably fry.

Possible HDD fault, try taking out the HDD and or the DVD drive as these can make the unit hang showing a possible fault, also try booting from a bootable cd or flash stick if the unit boots beyond the bios post even if it shows an error then i would say the HDD/DVD is faulty.

Did the problem start after you updated to bios 0229? You might try reinstalling bios 0229 or going back to 0228. Make sure that you SATA is enabled and your drive is hookedup to SATA1

Chances are that your HDD is on it's way out the door; even if you get it to come up on another computers via USB adapter. There could be issues with your motherboard, but a faulty HDD is more likely. The only way to be sure is to put another HDD into your computer to see if it shows up or not. If it shows up, then that pretty much affirms that your current HDD is going bad. See MADHATTER COMPUTERS.

GO BACK TO BIOS AND SET TO LOAD SAFE DEFAUT SETTINGS.YOU SHOULD STAY OUT OF BIOS,ARE YOU A COMPUTER TECH PERSON.IF NOT STAY OUT OF BIOS OR LEARN THE HARD WAY........HOPE THIS HELPS!

i think the problem is with ur SATA HDD. To confirm, try another SATA HDD on ur mother board and see if the problem persists

Try with another fresh XP disc. Check your Bios if it shows hard disc. If bios show the HDD than its problem with your installation CD. If bios does not show HDD than check your HDD power and IDE cable. Replace IDE cable to diognose. If this does not solve, replace HDD.
