Try another HDD?

That would require you to restore to factory conditions or from backups.

I'm running into folk that think a HDD is like a spare tire. Install and it should work. Sadly it's much more complicated than that.

If it dies in the BIOS, it's not a Windows issue, but a hardware issue. Ask an estimate for repair.
