Are you talking about UEFI (more commonly, and mistakenly referred to as bios) setup before the computer boots into Windows, or are you talking about a failure to boot from the hard drive? If you are talking about the UEFI settings before the computer boots, we need to know the exact model Asus Laptop.
Fast Boot to Disabled, what is under SATA Configuration?
I'm really confused, though - the Windows Boot Manager under boot option #1 should be the HDD and should boot Windows.
SATA Mode Selection [AHCI]
There's no other option to change it.
I am too, let's assume he only removed the HDD, if booting and change CSM to enabled, and you then click on boot option #1, do you see your Hard Drive in the list?
If so select it.
Basically you need to know if you were booting UEFI, or BIOS (legacy) so those settings can be made, and then the issue is telling your system to boot from the hard drive, so you have to find it in the listings of available boot devices.
It should be there, considering you stated you erased it, and it wasn't a hard drive failure of some sort.
In UEFI boot mode (CSM launch disabled), that might be correct until another media capable of UEFI booting is actually connected - such as a USB flash drive, external hard drive, or a DVD inserted into the DVD drive.
The question we have is - does the computer boot into Windows installed on the hard drive?
