Please be more specific about what happens - include exact messages if any.
Try booting holding option and see if it gives you a disc boot choice.
No,unfortunatelly no
I have the same problem on my MacBook Air, boot into recovery mode it does not see any usable hard disks. Is there a way to setup an new Partion?
So much for Mac just working... If this was a PC it would have been working 3 hours ago.
It could be a hardware failure. If Disk Utility can't see the drive, usually the directory is so badly damaged that it doesn't show up, or it could be hardware. I usually turn to a 3rd party utility called Disk Warrior. Its saved me a bunch of times. I have seen it bring drives back to life that I was pretty sure were gone. http://www.alsoft.com
Can you verify that the drive is running? Can you hear it spin up?
Its not clear to me if you are saying that you tried 3 different hard drives, is that correct? Internal or external?
