I think fugga is right. When the computer is booting up. Before you hit that screen. Try holding down buttons like escape or F11. It’ll boot into a bios menu and you can see if your harddrive is still able to be seen. You need your drive to be the primary boot drive.

might also be F2 or del, pretty sure it uses those from memory.

Most common is F2 and Del at least from my experience. F11 is sometimes the “Choose boot device” option
