I thought my hard drive had failed also after an update. I used the Windows install disk and the repair option command prompt and saw that I had access to the hard drive. It was ok, but the bios was not reading it. I reinstalled windows and it works, the bios still does not see the hard drive.

Hello, According to your problem description, you might upgrade the BIOS to the latest version and load its default settings. Then click F8 while booting the computer and select Repair your computer to do a startup repair. If you are unable to boot into WinRE, you might refer to the following webpage to re-download the setup media, burn it to CD as a bootable disk and clean-install OS again. Need the Download?

Start here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/download.aspx Finally you'd better remove all unnecessary hardware devices from the box and then download and run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to test whether there exists any known incompatibility issue.
