That warning usually means the hard drive has failed. To verify that run the Diagnostics
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.

So are you saying that you followed the directions to run the Diagnostics and the popup menu did not show? Or you did not press F2? Or what?
Diagnostics routine should post results. What were the results?
From what you posted it should go ahead and boot to the OS boot manager (UEFI) after the report from the Diagnostics routine is completed, after asking if you wish to continue.
