Computer not detecting ANY Harddrives..?

OK so my friends computer started getting pop ups. He restarted it after removing a Virus, and Then he got an Error messages saying ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed.

Now i had him try everything i could think of, And im not computer stupid.. In The Bios, It doesnt even show a Harddrive connected.

So i told him to take his other harddrive that he doesn't use and connect it, (It has an OS ) Same error, So its unlikely that both drives randomly failed.

I am thinking Motherboard fail or SATA Wire failed. But not sure, If there may be something else.

    Possibly a BIOS virus. With the PC off Find the jumpers on your mobo marked CMOS and there should be three pins. A jumper should be shorting two of them. Short the other two with the jumper for about 5 seconds and then replace it. Turn on your PC and go to the BIOs to see if it is there then.
