    Sounds like a BIOS issue. If you can load up the BIOS and check to make sure that your HDD is recognized and set to first boot.

    Try removing the screws and slide the drive out, then firmly slide it back in place to be certain it's properly seated... (Power Off)

    Do you have any USB devices connected to the laptop? Are there any devices in device manager that have a yellow exclamation mark? Have you checked the boot order in the BIOS?

    Also if your laptop has NO floppy drive, make sure that is marked as disabled in the Bios boot order.
