Hard Drive Missing after Recovery and Restore

[neutrinofdl]

I was trying to do a recovery and restore to original shipping state on my T43. It was working okay but I wanted a fresh install. I got to disk 6 of 6 and got an error. I used these disks for 7 systems yesterday and they worked perfect on all the 6 other systems I was restoring.

Now I cant get recovery and restore to run. I get an error. If I go into Bios it doesn't recognize a hard drive being installed.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sounds like it could be a BIOS error. Have you tried completely resetting the system by removing all power sources including the BIOS battery? If not give that a go, remove PSU, battery & BIOS backup battery leave for a while then turn back on.

If the reset has been sucessfull you will get a time & date error message, go into BIOS put in the correct time & date then see if your hard drive is listed.
