Product: Pavilion g6
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)

When I start up my hp pavilion g6 it would show hp loading screen but nothing happens. I check the side and the hard drive light is not on. I recently installed windows 8.1 and the issue started from there. During the installation process for windows 8.1 the hard drive light will bail and I had to shut down (holding down power button) then turn it on for it to continue the installation.
