Im still a novice student in pc servicing and even I can easily troubleshoot the smallest problem of a unplugged ide cable or even if a power supply is bad, if the hard drive is bad or unplugged you will get a no operating system found error. there is no exuse for this ignorance

this same story has been done numerous times, the exact same way, disconnecting the hdd. that being said that computer needs to be set on fire anyways. and best buy knows nothing of the products they sell. i had a "sales" guy argue with me over a computer because he thought he knew more than me, and really set me off when he was pushing an antivirus that sucks and i told him i use a different one because i have for years and never had a problem, but he started getting mad. i put him in his place

Fix the fucking sync issue. God damn.

If you own a computer like THAT, you deserve to be taken
-
i think the biggest problem is, some people would refuse to pay for the fix otherwise, so this is what happens

Smaller computer shops always much better. Stay away from big box scammers.

@hcsepyon Don't worry, there are lots of places other than Best Buy / Geek Squad where we can get good service consistently, instead of rolling the dice at your place. This is a recurring theme chain-wide; just look at the news reports on YouTube.
another example of people trying to take advantage of the common ignorance
