PC wont Boot

my brother confessed me he used a partition program to delete the partition of my computer he dont know what he used or what he has done.
stupid joke really messed my pc up.
meanwhile i tryed everything even hooked up a floppy disk from my moms pc haha. to try boot disks
still aint able to boot.
even when i placed a repair cd
it booted got the blue screen with windows setup but it gets stuck there.....
when i look at my cmos features i see this:
primary ide master: [pioneer dvd rw dvd-]
primary ide slave: [HL-DT-stdvd-rom gdr8]
sata 1 master [none] <<-- where is my first drive :S should be there..
sata 3 slave [none]
sata 2 master [wdc wd1600jd-22hbb0]
sata 4 [none]
i dont think this is good specially cause i have 2 hard drives. and one just aint being detected... o well you guys are the experts so please suggestions

 

Try unplugging the drive and plugging it back in again.

 

well offcourse i tryed that i redid the wires to check if all was correct and nothing wrong with that..

 

The drive isn't being recognised in the BIOS.

 

i dont know i tryed your option just still aint working :S
called manufacturer but they dont have other repair disk then i already have..
the worst part is that my setup just keep getting stuck...

 

i bought a new harddisk shit even that wont work its kinda making me very very angry.
now i tryed a start up usb still the same ffin problem it wont finish my xp setup....
now im thinking of vista I HATE VISTA or should i just try linux ? ubuntu or redhat?

 

unplug all the hard drives, and plug the new one into the first sata port (0). Stick in your vista "anytime upgrade/install/repair" disk. Start your computer, enter the BIOS (you need to hit the indicated key del, f12, f2, etc... at startup. Go into the boot order section. Ensure that your cd drive is the first device. Save changes and exit. Now you should see the vista install program. Follow the steps as far as the partition creation part. Do NOT partition your hard drive- we just want to see if vista can see it. Report back here when you're done.
