I have that problem too. 1st check your SATA n' power cable to HDD, okay? Then go to BIOS n' see if your HDD is being detected, yes or no? Even after that it does not show your HDD, try to put that HDD in your friends PC. If it worked then problem with wires. Replace SATA n' power cable with new one. If even in his computer it gave error than you have to buy a new HDD.
A Disk Boot Fail means that the disk you normally start your computer from is not working. The computer can be started from the System Disk but that system disk will wear out so you will have no boot disk and no way of repairing the boot disk. Time to look for a new boot disk or better a brand new computer
