Run the onboard diagnostics tool and let us know the error.Also communicate the system manufacturer & the operating system.

Check your BIOS to confirm that HDD is in the boot order and is not disabled.

Its told you before you had bad discs and you didn't do anything about it? no bootable device means your hard drive is damaged or dead. If you can run the system utility and try and repair it.

if that doesn't work then you will most likely need a new hard drive. if the system is under warranty you may have to use it.

well that either means that windows isn't installed on the computer or that the hard drive is damaged and cant load windows.

If you haven't formatted the hard drive or deleted windows then your hard drive is damaged.

the original error message you have posted suggests your hard disk is knackered.
