harddisk is not booting.if i try ubuntu it shows this error:

DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending.

if i use gparted to check the partition for errors it shows the following:

GParted 0.7.0 --enable-libparted-dmraid

Libparted 2.3
Check and repair file system (ext4) on /dev/sdd4 00:00:00 ( ERROR )

calibrate /dev/sdd4 00:00:00 ( ERROR )
libparted messages ( INFO )

Could not stat device /dev/sdd - No such file or directory.

========================================
Check and repair file system (ntfs) on /dev/sdd3

========================================

windows does not detect the harddisk.

any suggestions??


My Harddisk is Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 SATA.

no the harddisk is not detected in bios. ubuntu detects it but it cannot read or mount it.

^^ yep, you're right - if bios can't detect a HDD in a particular rig no OS in the world can detect the HDD on the same system - so he better use some system diag tools first.
