It appears that your hard disk has failed and needs to be replaced. Perhaps you need to take the PC to a local repair shop. Since it needs "hand-on" access to diagnose the exact problem.
Good Luck

Hi weezie,
If your hard drive is not detected in BIOS, it is highly possible that your drive has failed. I recommend you to change hard drive’s cable and restore BIOS to its defaults. If there is no change, open the case, disconnect the drive and connect it to another PC. If it is not recognized even there, I would recommend you to change the drive.
Hope this helps
