Hi @ianpcampos

The message you're getting indicates that either the HDD has failed or the MBR (Master Boot Record) files on the drive have become corrupted so it cannot boot into the Operating System.

Start the laptop and try to get into the BIOS menus by pressing the F12 key rapidly a few times.

There is only a small window of opportunity to get into BIOS and it is usually when the manufacturer's splash screen logo is on the screen and before it goes to boot into the OS.

If you can get into BIOS check if the HDD is shown as being detected by the BIOS i.e. model number of HDD etc.

If it is being detected then hopefully it is only corrupted MBR files on the drive. If there's no HDD detected then most likely the drive has failed.
