Compal TS30T HDD

[Iain]

At bootup my Compal TS30T laptop does not recognise the Hard Drive.
When I try to reinstall Windows I get the message at setup - the
computer does not have a hard disk, hard disk not functioning
properly, or hard disk requires a special driver. Help please.

Does the HDD work elsewhere? Do other OSes and BIOS recognize the
drive ?

No. In the BIOS against Hard Disk it reads None
