@gckilbb -- Error: no boot disk has been detected or disk has failed

A few possibilities:

1. the "power" cable is not connected to the disk-drive;
2. the "power" cable is not sending power to the disk-drive;
3. one end of the "data" cable is not connected to the disk-drive;
4. the other end of the "data" cable is not connected to the motherboard;
5. the "data" cable is damaged, and does not transmit/receive;
6. the motherboard is configured to "ignore/disable" the disk-drive;
7. the disk-drive has failed -- it does not spin, or its electronic circuit-board has failed;

You may need to replace the disk-drive, and to reinstall Windows.
