Sounds like the hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced. Is it recognized in BIOS? Have you used Diagnostics to test it?

It seems to not recognize the hard disk in bios and claims that there isn’t a hard disk installed. I tried another hard disk, the one out of my other hp laptop that’s identical to it & works, and it does the same with it.
