Your hard disk has failed or the disk is not connected correctly.

Check data and power connections
Check Master/Slave jumper on disk if it is not a SATA drive
Press F2 or DEL at boot to access motherboard setup and see if the disk appears

If you still don't see your disk it has failed.
Have a computer service shop perform the work and assist you with installing...might be cheaper to buy a new computer...

I have reseated the hard drive in my inspiron 1525 laptop and it still says internal hard disk drive not found. what can i do?

Hello,
You might need to borrow another hard disk drive from your friend or relatives and try it on your laptop. If it still does not work, then we can assume that the laptop needs repair with the hard disk drive port.
Hope this helps in resolving the issue...

, hard disk problem

Hi, blinking light may indicate activity to or from hard disk and computer, maybe the disk partition was damaged or lost due to incorrect ejection or a virus, you could use a free partition recovery software to try to fix it, for example EaseUs.

No operating system found

This is caused by :-
1. Your hard disk has failed.
2. Your BIOS settings for the hard drive has been altered
3. Your hard drive has been wiped or someone or a virus program that has deleted critical files.

Go into your BIOS setup to check the hard disk settings, if possible see if it will auto detect the hard drive.

Also boot up with a DOS disk run FDISK to see if you can detect a hard disk, partitions etc.

If the hard disk appears OK you may be able to do a disk repair, most likely you would need to re-install the operating system and the laptop drivers for video, audio, LAN, modem etc.
