You couldn't be more wrong if someone paid you to be. I do this for a living all day every day.
He can stick a BLANK BRAND NEW OUTTA BOX hard drive in there, and if its telling him that Primary 0 or 1 is NOT DETECTED or his bios is saying "unknown" it's IN NO WAY a software issue.
POST comes before bootloaders there buddy. Do you know what POST means? Power On Self Test. So BEFORE anything tries to read the software or MBR (Master Boot Record) of the hard drive, the system checks to make sure everything is working. In this case, something isn't.
You=fail.
