Inspiron 3847, hard drive failure
So I found a Inspiron 3847 with an Intel Core I5, and 8 gigs of ram, when I booted it up, it said hard drive failure. This is what it looks like. What should I do? Is there anything I can do to save it?

It has two SATA cables but neither connected to a hard drive or ssd. One orange sata is connected to dvd. look for a ssd to connect to blue sata cable and sata power. Try to install Windows 10 on it. Replace cmos battery with a new one and clean the dust off it can still run some light internet surfing
