1. Check that the "data" and "power" cables are securely-connected to the disk-drive, and that the other end of the "data" cable is connected to a SATA port on the motherboard. If you have an "empty" SATA port on the motherboard, move the "data" cable to that port.

2. the disk-drive could have "failed". If it has, you'll need to replace the disk-drive, and re-install Windows. Contact HP Support, to see if they can sell you a copy of the HP-modified Windows 10 "Installation Media".

3. Take the computer to a local owner/operator computer store, and pay them to do the above work.

Hello
the hard drive is defective
It can continue to operate for a certain time, but it can definitively break down, if it is not already the case!
If possible, save personal data
Try a full reinstall
Be careful even if it works, it may permanently break down, save the data regularly.
This may allow you to use the computer while you find a hard drive!
Your computer should be this

Issue: Either sata 3 cable or hard drive is bad

Repair shop said my sata 3 cable was good. This means my hard drive is bad. Therefore, I need to replace the hard drive

[Prométhée]

did you try what i say @PaulHon ?

[PaulHon]

Took hard drive and stackable to compuer repair for verification. He said both were bad. Gave me a  free 10 inch sata cable. Replaced hard drive.Trying to contact HP support to see if they would sell me  a copy  of the HP modified windows 10 installation media. Contacting them is difficult.

hp may not provide a recovery kit if the computer is old
reread my recommendations I indicate practically all the possibilities

you can try this if windows 10 installed

Sata cable and hard drive was bad. Had it confirmed with computer repairman. The boot order did not show hard drive.

Replaced data 3 cable and hard drive. The new hard drive appears in the boot order. Able to do short and long hard drive diagnostic test.

Unable to contact HP support to see if I can buy a copy of the HP-modified Wibdows 10 installation media.

Installation is holding me back

Thank you for your recommendation
