We will be taking a lot of assumptions in this question. Assuming that Landan did not accidentally drop his laptop, as a technician, what I would want to check first is the BIOS settings. There are a couple of issues that can cause this error. These issues may include a boot sector virus that erased the whole hard drive, a bad windows installation, or even a loose cable. Before I check on the BIOS settings, I would request him to unplug any external hard disks. He might have been watching his movies from the hard disk and the disk being connected might be the one causing the error. A wrong boot order in the BIOS settings may be giving priority to another boot source disk like the external hard disk mentioned. I should be able to take Landan through steps that he needs to take to make his hard disk priority. I would also check for corrupt sectors by running the inbuilt CHKDSK tool. If these options don’t work, I would consider checking the hardware itself for further diagnostics.

Hard drive might not be detected due to various reasons. Some problem can be fixed only by the hardware engineer or technical person, few other can be fixed by self by “troubleshooting”. The possible reason could be, BIOS might not have switched on the hard drive so it has not detected. Sometimes data cable might be unplugged.

So you can try replacing one another cable. Another possible reason could be virus. Virus might have corrupted all the data in the hard drive. So anti-virus can be installed to rectify this.

Identify different character components for a given typeface: Arial.
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: Arial belongs to the sans serif family of typefaces. It is the most commonly used typeface, and it is the default typeface set in Microsoft Word. A character is a typographic element represented through an upper- or lowercase letter, number, or special character. Every letter of the alphabet has multiple parts that we describe with a particular set of terms. Typographers call this “letter anatomy.” The basic terms common to all letters are below:

An ascender is the stroke extending upward, going above the x-height (which is the height of the letter excluding the ascender or descender).

A descender is the stroke extending downward from the baseline (which is the imaginary horizontal line that aligns the bodies of the characters).

A bar is the horizontal stroke in the uppercase letters A, E, F, H, I, and T, as well as in the lowercase letters e, f, and t.

A counter is the blank space within the body stroke.

A bowl is a curved stroke that surrounds the counter.

A shoulder is a curved stroke beginning at the stem.

A serif is the tapered feature at the end of a stroke. Arial is a sans serif font, and it does not have tapered corners at the ends of the main strokes.
