There are two basic possibilities:
1. Parameters for this drive in the CMOS configuration may not be
correct....
2. The drive has sustained physical damage to the area where
critical partition/boot information must be stored; repair cost is
likely to exceed replacement cost.
Naturally, one hopes that #1 is the problem.
