Is the drive SATA 0 found? If not, reseat the data cable and power connector. If it's still not found, call Dell for a warranty replacement of the failed drive.
The bios probably has the drive option set to on but can't find the drive.
Is this a new machine? Mine was shipped with all drive options on.
Go into setup by pressing f2 while booting up (when you first turn machine on.)
Look at the section under drives.
You will have listings for sata0 sata1 sata2 and sata3.
Sata0 is the location of the hard drive you boot from.
If you currently have only one drive in the machine, make sure the sata0 drive is turned on and that sata1,2,3 are all turned off.

If you could, explain it to me...if i was 4. lol

This should take care of your error message.
