What does it mean it doesn't detect storage? 

  1. Does the computer detect external storage
  2. Does it boot into windows
  3. Does it post
  4. Etc.

Boot drive/slot could be corrupted/damaged. Can you check whether the boot drive still works on your computer?

 

Your dad's PC. Is it a laptop/desktop, what is the make/model?

If going with BestBuy, get the PC replaced, not repaired. Geeksquad are ass hats and you can find stories about it all over the internet.
