The posible problem of your notebook is the operating system may be corrupted or could not detect your hard drive because of cable connection has loose from board to HDD or totally damage. Try to use another working HDD for isolation properly.

Go into the BIOS by pressing f10 when powering on the laptop.
Go to System Configuration and choose Device Configuration
Scroll down to SATA Native Mode and disable.
Press f10 to save configuration. The computer should reboot and press f9 to select boot device.
See if the 160GB hdd is now showing as an option. If it is then you are in luck.
p.s: You may need to update the BIOS to the latest if it still does not show up for you.
