No fixed disk present indicates the hard drive is not seen by the BIOS.
Generally, this will only be seen in two cases:
1. hard drive is bad
2. drive is not getting and power (i.e., IDE ribbon cable came lose or is
not connected)
If you go into BIOS setup and autodetect the HDD, does it detect and report
the correct size?
If not then the main drive has probably gone "bad" and will need to be
replaced.
