Unplug the system, remove the battery, undo the two screws, slide out the hard drive and reconnect it.

The service manual is here:

If the drive is then still not found, it's toast -  you'll need to replace it.

It tells me " Internal hard disk drive not found. To resolve this issue, try to reset the hard drive."

Physically, or the operating system?
