Still could be one of those 3 problems I describe earlier on. One way to test the hard disk is to get hold of a HDD external USB caddy, put the har ddisk inside and see if it can be detected on another computer. if it still can't....then it's really dead. And try holding the case on different angles, I had a faulty hard disk once that couldn't be detected, unless I hold it on a certain angle.
