Though I know what this usually means, I don't believe my harddrive is dead.

The computer in question, was built by myself, It has a A8N-Sli Deluxe Asus Motherboard. Its running Sil 3114 SataRaid Bios Version 5.1.39, Phoenix Award. The Bio's is recognizing the Sony DVD RW drive which I have installed.

I have Windows 64 Bit installed on the harddrive which I was using, the computer has been working fine for almost a year now, and earlier it decided to lock-up not even allowing me to use ctrl-alt-delete to restart. So I rebooted the computer, and received the message disk boot failure error, insert system disk and press enter. I insert the windows 64 disk, and it says theres no harddrive to install windows into. I've also tried using my disk for my motherboard, but it says to insert a formatted floppy into drive b.

So, I figured what the heck, I'd try a different harddrive, I have 2 unused seagate 120 HDs and a Seagate 80gig. So I installed a Seagate HD into the desktop, but still nothing appeared in BIOs for a harddrive, and windows will still not install because no harddrive cannot be found. This is why I think there must be some other reason my computer is not booting, I have now, tried the original HD, plus an additional HD neither worked. My computer is not beeping out of the ordinary, but I did recognize that in Bios it is finding a floppy drive, that was never there before, and is not even installed on my computer.

I need some advice please
