        1541 has a console access, right ?
        It's officially time to use it ^^

        When you see the device booting, from the build in BIOS up until the point where it starts to list all hardware, so also the build in drives, you'll see what it find, or doesn't, and what the error really is.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Yup check that the drive(s) are shown in the boot log. Or when it fails like that drop to the command line and check: ls -ls /dev
