Unplug the system, remove the battery, undo the two screws, slide out the hard drive and reconnect it.
The service manual is here:
ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_inspiron_laptop/inspiron-1545_service%20manual_en-us.pdf\
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?
