You may have just broke an IDE pin in that case soldering a new pin would work. But if you opened the drive so you can see the platters then it's toast.\nHard drives are made in a clean enviroment where they enter the roon through an airlock and wear clean white suits.\nIf you opened it then you might just as well toss it it's toast. On the up side the platters make for cool wind chimes.\nAnd you can have fun with the magnets that control the arm of the read/write heads. They are powerful little things. Just be carful when playing with them. I had one magnet on the back of my hand and one on the front and they stuck to my hand I slid them down to my fingers and they clamped on the webbing between my fingers and tore a chunk of skin off. That was painful.

Can you add a little more info?\n\nIs D a CD&#92;DVD drive? Another partition on your hard drive partition?  Another hard drive itself?\n\nAs cliched as it sounds, if you are running a Windows system, rebooting may repair.

call any reputable computer repair shop in your area.  If they don't do it on-site, they should be able to refer you to someone who does.  \n\nFYI: do NOT use anyone who will charge you for their services if no data is recovered.  In other words, no results/data= no $$

either your harddrive is crashed, of it is bad. It need major work, if you were here where I lived you could bring it to me, but you should take it to a shop where they can find out the problem

Reformat and reload you hard drive.\n\nCoach

your harddrive has either failed, or needs reseating, if it is removable, take it out and put it back in, and try again, if you get the same message, it is time for the repair shop, unless you can change it yourself

What exactly is your question? If your DVD drive is broken, I think you need to take it to a repair shop or get a new one.

try make the short circuited HDD as a secondary drive and use another good HDD as a primary drive. then boot up your system, select my computer then open the D drive which will be the short circuited drive.

if it's the hardDisk pasword, You're stuffed! I don't think you can install a new Hd either!\nIf its just the power on password, hold F8 while booting up and reset it in the Bios.

Backup all your information, format the HD and reinstal OS. Probably the easiest way.

Reformat the hard disk again. I think it should solve your problem.

you could try doing a "chkdsk /r" at the recovery console:\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/229716/EN-US/

Why not just go to a Electronics Store and just buy a new hard drive. It doesnt matter if its new or old, the wire that connects them does.
