i just got this pc a couple of days ago from a buddy of mine who wasn't using it anymore and i was wondering if anyone can lead me to the direction of a bios disk or system recovery disk because im trying to put windows 7 on there and its not recognizing any hard drives

download parted magic boot disk to see if that picks it up if so and u want to install a fresh copy of windows 7 use secure erase and format with ntfs. you might also want to check your cables that connect your hdd before you do this just incase its them.
