You say it shows up on another PC.  So you can see it's contents when it's connected to another computer?  But on your own machine, the BIOS doesn't see it?

  Hi Ian thanks for the quick response. I have tried all those things and the hardrive does show present on another pc. Any other suggestions please?

It wasn't kicked, moved opened or anything until after the problem began. Front light turns on, fan works and power supply works but harddrive does not turn on, does not spin.
