Internal Hard drive not found DELL INSPIRON?
My laptop has just crashed and when I rebooted I got this message:
"Internal hard disk drive not found To resolve, try to reseat the drive. No bootable devices--strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility. Press F5 to run onboard diagnostics"
I've tried every option and nothing works. What do I do?
Actualización:Alright i'm working on it. Thanks for the help everyone!

Sounds like your hard drive has bit the dust. Hopefully, you have important stuff backed up because recovery may not be possible. Most Dells were sent out with a hidden partition on the hard drive that contain the operating system files. Hopefully, they also sent a CD/DVD restore disk.
Did you reseat the drive? That means take the cover off, unscrew the HDD take it out and put it back in. Do all of this while the laptop is off and unplugged to avoid electrical shock. If this doesn't correct the issue, contact Dell support and tell them what's going on. As long as you don't incriminate yourself by saying things like, "I dropped it," or "I spilled my drink on it," they should send you a new hard drive free of charge. Sucky part is you lose all of your data. Best of luck.
