Hi, 

Please shut down the system , restart and tap on f2 and look for the option internal HDD. Look if its showing the hard drive or does it says none. 

Again restart the machine, restart and tap on f12, select the option diagnostics and let the test complete. 

Do let us know the outcome. 

Usually if the hard drive is not detected , you get these errors. 

Regards

In BIOS setup select the option Drives 0 through 4. Highlight Drive SATA 0 and look for the option to enable it on that screen.

If you have drives connected to SATA1, 2,3... enable those too. But don't enable any SATA port that doesn't have a drive connected to it.

Be sure to save the changes, before exiting BIOS setup. Exit setup and see if it boots now.
