My mom was fucking around and unplugged the extension cord to my brothers computer while it was running. When turning it on again it can't find the hard drive and I get a boot disk failure. Going in the bios and trying to detect the HD does nothing. Is the hard drive or something else fried?
It is an older system to, so I figure something may have been on the verge of dying, specs :

T-bird 1.33 GHz
Abit KT7A
512 MB PC133
Fujitsu 40GB 2MB cache
Radeon 9600 Pro

any ideas?

I should note that when booting up after the 9600 Pro was installed it did the same thing, but then it worked again after letting it sit for about 8 hours.
 
try clearing the bios or try to put a new ide cable in there.

my hard drive didnt work for accouple of weeks and found out it was a dead ide cable.
 
You can also try swapping IDE cables with the cd-rom and the hard drive. See if the problem stays with the drive, cable, or the system(bios). Probably just got a bad HD.
