My Dell Inspiron N4110 Can not Detect my Hard Drive

Question

earlier today i restarted my Laptop. when it booted up again a very faint beeping sound started.  after about 1 min of loading. it goes straight to the boot menu and the faint beeping stops.  I couldn't figure out what was going on so i started a diagnostics.  When the Diagnostics ended it said 'could not detect hard drive' I tried reseatting  my hard drive and it did not work, I also have recently changed my cmos battery.

HI SLICEDANDDICED, you inadvertently reset all bios to default and need to go into bios and reset everything to work with installed hardwares. boot order reset to HDD as first item to boot.

I figured out what the beeping sound was, It was my hard drive. IT was Gone.  I guess i should buy a new one :( Ty for your time sir.

Hi I just tried what you ask me to do but the same thing is still happening, a faint beeping sound as the laptop boots up, after 1-2 mins of loading it goes to the boot menu and the beeping stops. It still cannot detect my hard drive. :(

EDIT: NeverMind It works now
