HP Pro 3500
Error: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed.
------------------------------------------------------
The first step I took is checking the BIOS. The HDD wasn't detectable. So I though it's gone bad.
I cleaned the case from all the dust which was inside it, and it booted perfectly and I logged on. I though the dirt was blocking the connection or something. I restarted it twice and it kept working.
But, after I shut it down, it never booted again, and has been only giving the above error message.
I swapped the SATA cable with the ODD, change the connector on the motherboard. Nothing makes the HDD detectable. I used another HDD and installed OS using the the same cable and connector of the original HDD. It worked fine.
I connected both HDDs. The original wasn't detectable.
WTF?!! Why didn't it work fine right after cleaning?!!
Anyone familiar with this kind of failure?
