Hi Drjamal999 

It appears that the computer is not detecting the hard drive. I would suggest you to run dell diagnostics on the system to isolate the issue better. To initiate the Dell diagnostics, turn on the system, press <F12> at the initial Dell logo screen, and select Diagnostics from the boot menu. In case you get an error message please make a note of it and let me now. 

Also, you can try to reseat the hard drive that might help you. For details, please follow the steps mentioned in the below link.

Note: reseating hard drive requires professional help, because hard drive is not a customer replaceable unit.
