Googling says that's a ThinkCentre M715q - in which case have you tried booting a desktop Linux from a USB stick to see if that recognises the drive?

I feel so bloody stupid, as soon as i got the device, it had windows on, which detected the drive properly, but for whatever reason the INTERNAL drive somehow got loose? Reseating it fixed the issue.
