No sound?
Your hard disk could be dead then. Did your bios detect other hard disks?
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by johnnylove: 1:03pm On Jan 10, 2011
No hard disk was detected.

v3,why describe a jumper cable procedure to a novice when that is not even the solution, this is an open forum,u might just be misleading others, next time,u could start by asking him to check his boot priorities.his hard disk may not be in the  top3 boot order, simple
after then,u can now start exploring other causes,

Notice i asked him this

@Samelog
If you noticed, he quite rightly said "My PC doesn't detect my hard disk" and " Inside the setup (BIOS), no drive is seen"

If it doesn't detect the hard disk, how will the said drive appear in the boot order priorities? Seriously? undecided

@johnny
I'll advice you to take it to a technician as there are 'certain terminologies' that when mentioned, could be beyond you.
Please bear with me for not continuing.
Thanks
