Try replacing the data cable to the hard drive.

It generally means that there is no OS installed. Its a possibility that the data on the hard drive is corrupt. Did he by any chance knock hte computer anywhere or something like that?
I had the same problem once and re-installing the OS fixed the problem. |

I think you should check the data cable of Hard Disk. It is a HD related error and try reconnecting it.
