drive Hard Drive not showing in BIOS but on Ubuntu

[Halsor]

I am building my first computer at home and I'm doing the $100 PC challenge. I got all the parts under $100 and I got Ubuntu 7.04. When I was installing it, it recognised my 250GB drive and started installing Ubuntu on it. I turned my computer back on and there was no boot drive found. So I went into the BIOS and in the boot tab, there was no Hard Disk Drives found so I went into the Boot Device Priority. All I saw in the menu was first floppy drive but on ubuntu it recognised my hard drive. Do you guys have any ideas why this is happening? Thanks.

can you mount the HDD to another PC to see if it is still alive and did not die?

I will check. Thanks.

Also some motherboards hide the hard drives under a different menu, and aren't directly a part of the boot priority list.

Ah. I have no idea where the drive is located in the menu but thanks!

Usually go into the menu where disks are listed, not boot menu, and it should be listed along with your other devices like optical drives.
