Hard dive disk reseating? help me im cluless:(

[ComputersHateMe]

My Dell Inpspiron 1440 Displays a messasge that says,"internal hard disk drive not found to resolve this issue try to reseat the drive." the computer is only about a month and a half old. I need help!

Given the recent acquisition of the Dell 1440 (assuming a new purchase) it still is well within the warranty period. My recommendation rather than trying to deal with the issue yourself i would first contact either the store where purchased and/or the Dell tech support and explain your issue. Makesure that you have your receipt of purchase on hand. Dell should either assist you by telephone to solve the problem or have you return it for repair/replacement. Be firm with whomever you deal with and insist on prompt assistance. Let us know how things work out in case we may be of further assistance. truenorth

Since it's new the cables may be a little loose. Open the box and make sure all cables are firmly connected.
