If the bios on the machine doesn't see the drive, would try
a usb to sata adapter and see if another machine can see
the disk. Might be something with the controller or
connections in machine.

Once had a disk in a desktop that wouldn't boot, and
turned out to be a SATA cable that had gone bad.

Had another one that was even stranger. Had a machine
that would not boot to drive after a power outage that
was longer than UPS could handle. Turned out the cmos
battery had gone bad, so it went to default settings in
BIOS. The drive was Fedora only, but somehow a BIOS
setting wa set to only boot with Windows Boot Loader.
Changed that to secondary option, and then later
disabled it completely. Machine boots fine..

So, would check BIOS first, and make sure that it really
isn't seeing the disk.
If it sees the disk, look for bios setting for booting, could
be almost anywhere.
If it is not seeing disk on original hardware, thru using
another machine.

Had another disk that wouldn't boot from drive, but
hooked it up to other machine and ran fsck -f /dev/sda? on
each of the partitions. Some partitions had errors that it
fixed, and then machine booted in original hardware..
