You probably need to install a driver (SATA perhaps) when running the startup
repair so that it can see the hard drive.

It will be a motherboard chipset driver. Is it a SATA harddrive? What
computer do you have? What motherboard?

I looked on the ECS site and could not find that model motherboard. In order
to find the IDE/SATA or RAID drivers you will need the specific motherboard
model, preferably including version.
