Make sure the hard drive is properly re-connected to the system prior to using the system recovery options. You may also want to go through the following guide:
I also have not yet addressed the blue screen crashes which appear to be unrelated. The system the blue screens occur on is running Windows 8. Was it an upgrade install? If so, what did you upgrade from, i.e. XP, Vista, 7?
I noticed a lot of out of date drivers on that system:

To update drivers, make sure to download the drivers from the manufacturer and not using 3rd party programs. Your drivers should be found from your motherboard support site (ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, etc.) or your vendor support site (Dell, HP, Toshiba, Sony, etc.) first. If you have devices you bought yourself, the drivers for those devices need to be downloaded from the manufacturer support site for those devices. If you need help, let us know.
To remove drivers, do so by
uninstalling the device or software associated with the driver. Devices can be uninstalled through
device manager, and then the device itself should be physically removed from the system if possible.
The Intel storage controller drivers are blamed in the crashes.
