Assuming the message is all that shows up and the laptop does not boot, then most likely the hard drive has failed.

The spec page indicated the hard drive to be 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA.

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.  If the hard drive has failed, it needs to be replaced.  We can discuss that action.
