The hard drive is not bootable probably meaning the boot files are damaged.
Boot to the windows disk with the operating system that came originally on the computer and reinstall windows 7--if that is the original OS. Do a custom install and select Drive Options to delete the partition with the current non bootable operating system. Win 7 will format the partition and install win 7.

The above instructions worked by simply using the space bar to change to the HDD, thank you very much!
