Immediately after powering on the machine start tapping the F10 key to enter BIOS. Once in reset to Default settings, F5 key I believe. The tap F10 again to Save & Exit.

 

If still no boot, remove the side panel and check the cables to the back of hard drive-unplug and replug firmly to be sure of good connection.
