That error typically occurs when the hard drive has failed.

That error typically means the disk is failing, but it can also be caused by something interfering with the boot process.

To verify that, run the Diagnostics routine.

To run the Diagnostics routine, Start tapping the Esc key BEFORE starting the PC and then press the start button.
Keep tapping the Esc key until a popup menu shows. Then pick Diagnostics from that popup menu, F2.
Report back with the results. Also need the PC model number.
