Hi I had this once on a Libretto 70 I cured it be reloading the new BIOS
onto the machine but first removed the hard drive, removed the small green
system batteries left it for 30 mins then put everything back together
reflashed the BIOS and hey presto drive was found. Try it its worth a go!
Regards
Trevor Morgan
