If a system dows not boot you need to troubleshoot like this.
1. Check if hard drive is detected in bios
Hard drive detected: next step
hard drive not detected: reseat hard drive.
2. Restart system and tap f8 for advance boot option> select safe mode > Enter
System boots in safe mode: disable 3rd party services
system does not boot in safe mode: repair or reinstall windows.
Thanks,
