B. You expect to see a message saying that there is no operating system present.

C. You expect to see a message saying Windows needs to be configured.

D. You expect that you will receive a message saying the BIOS needs to be installed.

Solution

C. You expect to see a message saying Windows needs to be configured

Explanation:

Here it was said that the laptop is unformatted and we need to replace the damaged unit without damaginig the hard drive. Now given that I have taken the required precautions and replaced the same hard drive. In that case as the hard drive replaced correctly the messsage would be \"Windows needs to be configured\" , In the other case if the hard drive is not placed correctly then we will get a message saying that \"there is no operating system present.\" .In such a case if we replaced the hard drive correctly windows will be configured. If we placed the hard drive correctly and BIOS cannot recognise the hard drive we get a message that there is no operating system present, then there is problem with hard drive and need to replace the hard drive and reinstall the OS .So for the above situation I think a message would be windows need to be configured.
