Is your hard drive previously detecting? If yes, try to adjust your data cables (SATA/IDE) and your power connector to hard disk and then start your pc. Lets see what happens?

Hi imrulkayes,

If your hard drive used to work normally and now is missing, there may be a few reasons for that. As Computertech suggested, check your cables because a connectivity issue may cause this problem. If you are using a desktop PC, try the drive with another SATA cable and change motherboard port.
If the drive seems properly connected, there may be a problem with the drive itself. If you have the option, remove it from the PC and connect it to another one, as a secondary drive. Search for it in BIOS, Disk Management and Device Manager. If the drive is not recognized, unfortunately it may have failed and it needs to be replaced. If the information on the drive is really important, but the drive is missing in BIOS, the only way to try saving the data is contacting a data recovery company.

Hope this helps
