[RESOLVED] the bios not recognize the hard drive

i have a nec laptop but the hard drive is not configured in the bios how can i do for know the parameters of this hard drive
the hard drive is ibm.

thank you for your help.

What model NEC? Did the drive come in the machine? What size? If you know it's IBM then I guess you've physically seen the drive - no parameters on the sticker?
