Uncle Sam's computer dont like him :(

Ok, so, My friend's computer (uncle same's computer) is being very not cool, he tried to plug another hard drive in for more space, so, we plugged it in, didnt work, so we unplugged it and an error comes up on the screen saying "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media selected boot device", so we opened it up and if you feel his hard drive, it doesnt seem to be starting up, feels cold dead :( , we even plugged it into my computer to see, and still nothing, hard drive didnt start up, he tries to reformat it to see if that would fix it, but it cant find any hard drives, the one we tried plugging in actually did start up but we get the same error, anyone got any suggestions?!?

(from Uncle Sam: PLEASE HALP!!!)
 
the hard drive might be crap to begin with

but other things check if the plugs are plugged in the right way Like if you plug and IDE cable in the wrong way it one work but no power could mean somethign is wrong with the drive or the power supply
 
Thanks Powdered Milkman thats helpful, im pretty sure its the hard drive but im giong to plug it into another comp to see if it will work
