What does it mean when your computer says hard drive not found?
The best way, I think to answer that is to define what a computer (or in this case the motherboard of the computer) needs to find or identify a hard disk. A hard disk needs a power source, a connector to attach it to the motherboard, and a controller to talk to the microprocessor of the computer. If any of these things fail the hard disk will not function and the computer will not recognize it. In general when you see the message "hard disk not found" its because the computer can't recognize the hard disk. This can be from a bad cable (that connects the hard disk to the motherboard), no power to the hard disk, or a failed controller. In my experience, its usually a bad cable but there are times when the hard disk itself will fail. Generally, hard disk cables are far more fragile than hard disks.
You still have space taken on your HD after formmating how do you get rid of it?
There are two possibilities. Once a "bad block" is detected the disk marks that bad block as unusable and reformatting will not make it available. A bad block fails to pass the read/write test and will do you no good. It's also possible that there are no bad blocks but that you or some application have configured a "partition" on the disk. A partition is a section of the disk that has been classified as "something else", can be treated as a totally separate disk drive even though it's part of the same hardware.
