It may be worth trying to reseat (disconnect and reconnect) the hard drive -- however, when you see what's involved in doing so you may just want to have a new one ready to install. On this model, replacing the drive is far from easy.

Start with an extended hard drive diagnostic - F12 at powerup. If the drive fails that test, you'll know you need to replace it.
