@Asiaandrews33 -- the disk-drive inside your computer either:

  • is not currently connected, via a SATA cable to your motherboard
  • is not currently connected to a power-connector
  • has completely failed, making it impossible to read any files, including your copy of Windows, from it.

It's easy to check the first two items.

For the third item, get a computer technician to replace the disk-drive, and to install Windows onto it.
