I need help trying to fix this error when I boot up my computer. I don't have Windows installed, and think that may be the case, but I'm asking just in case something else may be wrong.

You will need to install Windows on the hard drive or SSD -- you can't boot a system with no OS.
You'll need a Windows install DVD or flash drive or a Dell recovery disc or drive.
Insert or connect that, press F12 and boot from it to start the installation.
Thank you so much!
I was just making sure that my Windows installation was missing, because I bought the computer used and that is what came up.
