If it does not see the hard disk on installation or otherwise..it means you do not have the ahci (or raid ) driver installed ..and the laptop is set to run in this mode..but was installed without them ..the easy fix is go to bios ..look for the hard drive ,. and disable the ahci function for it ..and let it work on sata as ide ..or ide compatible ..or something like that ..anyway but not ahci ..save settings with F10 and restart and if you have a working windows on it ..it will boot proper and that's all ..if you do not have the windows..you can now install it further ..
The other option is to install windows from a usb flash ., and use the drivers disk in the drive ..and when it gets to the point where you select the partition ..it will ask for 3rd party drivers and you can select them on the disk and install ..or it will take them auto ..and this way you will have an installation of windows with the ahci function on ..and will be a little faster
have a nice day and don't hesitate to ask for future guidance ..
please rate my answer ..
