@ Merendrious -> do u have any spare computer around? take that HD out & port it in the other computer (make sure it's virus free). check if the BIOS can detect the HD. if it does, then go into windows & have scandisk check the HD. please do a complete scandisk with surface check.

other than that, i am not sure how else to help u. sorry.
