Check the hard drive connection: First, make sure the hard drive cable (such as SATA, IDE, etc.) is correctly plugged into the motherboard, and that the power cable is also connected.
Check the BIOS settings: access the BIOS interface on the computer to ensure that the hard drive is being recognized properly. If the BIOS is also unable to detect the hard drive, it could be due to hardware failure or an issue with the connection cable.
Check the hard drive format: If the hard drive is brand new or has not been formatted before, Linux may not be able to recognize it. Use disk management tools (such as GParted) to format the hard drive to a file system format supported by Linux, such as ext4.
Verify the hard drive drivers: Some hard drives require specific drivers to be recognized by Linux, you can try updating the hard drive drivers to solve the issue.
Try using a different Linux distribution: Sometimes a certain Linux distribution may not be compatible with certain hardware, so you can try using another Linux distribution to troubleshoot the issue.
Check if the hard drive is damaged: If none of the above methods solves the problem, it may be a malfunction of the hard drive itself. You can try connecting the hard drive to another computer to see if it can be recognized. If the hard drive cannot be recognized by other computers, it may need to be replaced.
