Check your BIOS and determine if your SATA setting is set for 'On-Chip SATA' or 'Compatibility'.  Windows will need it to be in Compatability mode.  Were you running RAID (two SATA drives)?  If so, you may need to obtain a driver in order to see the RAID array.

Otherwise, you may have a HDD failure.

BIOS shows I am currently set to AHCI - I do run 2 HDDs but it appears my 2nd HDD shows my dvd drive instead of my HDD. (So if you can picture this) Serial ATA Port 0 = HDD seral ATA Port 2 = dvd drive

And it has been around 8 months since I purchased this thing but if I recall there should be 2 500gb HDDs

Set it to IDE or Legacy, OR contact your laptop manufacturer for a driver.  Windows will not recognize the controller unless you do one or the other.

I would set it to IDE and see if the HDD is recognized.  If not, you have a dead HDD.  Not a virus.  If the HDD is recognized and it boots, you may have a virus.  If the HDD doesn't boot, and a repair us successful, you may have a virus.  If not for either, you have a dead HDD.

It is entirely possible for a virus scanner to provide a false positive if the HDD is failing.
