    open it up and pull out/reconnect the cables.
    Happens to me sometimes, where it looses contact or something /

    If that doesnt work, then just buy a new HDD and connect it. = ?

    Get new HDD, open your case, find the HDD, take it out, put new one in(make sure to re-plug the SATA cables), re-install windows.

    But first, I recommend replacing the SATA cable. Your cable could just be messed up.

    Yep, it's that easy.

    A SATA Cable will cost no more than 5 bucks. One is about a dollar at my local computer store. Also if you do plan on replacing the HDD don't forget attach the cable from the power supply to it . Pretty much whatever wires you removed from the old one, put them on the new one.
