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.

How do you fix bad clusters on your hard drive?
When checkdisk detects a bad cluster on your hard drive, it automatically flags the cluster as unusable and your file system will no longer put data there. This is as close as you can get to actually fixing the bad clusters. Bad clusters are caused by physical damage or defects on the disk itself. When modern hard disks start showing bad clusters, it should be taken as a sign that the hard disk is dying and should be replaced.

What is a bad cluster?
A bad cluster is a hard disk cluster which has been flagged by the file system as being corrupted or damaged in some way, and thus will no longer be used for storing data. In the olden days, it was not uncommon for a new hard disk to have a few bad clusters on it here & there due to minor manufacturing flaws and perhaps develop a few more during its normal lifespan. However, in modern parlance a bad cluster is almost always followed by several more bad clusters, and is a sign that the hard disk will soon fail completely.
