It appears that the hard drive is blank and has not been formatted and no operating system has been installed.
The hard drive tests good and is recognized in the BIOS so those are good signs.

What Operating System do you have?
What type of hard drive do you have? SSD or HDD
When was the last time it booted to the operating system?
Did you just format the drive?
In the BIOS setup menu what is the setting for the hard drive? SATA or AHCI

Press F2 at boot when you see the Dell logo and enter the Setup menu. Is the hard drive recognized in the BiOS Setup Menu?

Sir, i have no idea when the last time laptop was booted. somebody pawned it to me and never came back. Today i took it out for sale and could not boot it.
Hard drive is HDD and setting for the hard drive is AHCI.
