The system cannot detect the hard disk drive. Before you start up, re insert the hard disk. Remove the memory card and clean it with soft cloth or tissue paper. After doing these..Start up your computer and see the results. If nothing happens, restart your laptop, hit F12 key & set the hard disk drive to first boot device then press the Enter key. wait till the OS comes up.
SOURCE: My acer aspire 5738 won't start up it says
sounds like your unit did not detect the hard drive/hard disk.. try to enter on BIOS setup and check your hard drive or else you have a corrupted system.
OK, best case scenario is your hard drive is corrupt, worst case, hard drive is dead.
What to do - you could download the hirens boot cd and see if you can rejuvenate the hard drive firstly by going into mini windows and check if you can see the C: drive in windows explorer, if you can thern running chkdsk c: /f might sort it for you.
There are other utilities in the hirens disc that could help but that's where I'd start.
If you're not confident doing this then you might need to take it to your local pc engineer.
