Your problem is your BIOS not detecting the drive. Make sure SATA and power
connector are firmly attached to the drive.

Check that your BIOS is in face set to autodetect the drive and your SATA
controller has not been disabled.

Check the drive in an other PC, the drive may be broken.

You need to read your motherboard manual, or IBM help.
Using a Sata drive can involve both bios settings and installing drivers

Did you not read my sentence, in case if it fails in other computer, the
drive is possibly defect.
