harddrive seems to have disapeared

Dell Inspiron B130 barely finishes initial boot screen (Dell Welcome screen), but when it does, a error message screen comes up and says "The device in the system modular bay cannot be identified. It may not be completely inserted or may have some other problem. Please read and complete the following steps in
order".

Bios says that the hard drive is not there and diagnostics agree.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

 

check connections. Flat ide cables should have red line toward power plugin. check jumpers9one should be master other should be slave if sharing same ide cable). try disconnecting other ide devices with said hrd drv as master and auto detect. try switching to another flat ide cable. Weird noises are bad. Check the ide interface on the hard drive for bent, loose, or broken pins.
