i think you should check two things
1- from the bios setup check whether hard drives are properly installed.
2-if its ok then check if your choosen linux supports this perticular harddisk.

Hi...Grp

Srry grp i came after such a long time in "linuxsolved.com"....as i was bit busy.

Ok

This type of problem comes ..when the HARDDISK is SATA not IDE...

If ur HD is IDE..then u should detect HD in BOIS settings as told by aktiwari4u
or may be ur HD got damaged ...................
