That means the hard drive has failed.  Replace the hard drive and then reinstall Windows.  If it was me, I would install Windows 10.  I really dislike Windows 8 or 8.1.  It might mean you need to purchase Windows 10, however.

That message usually indicates the hard drive has failed.  It could be the systom lost the bootmanager or it has been corrupted but normally the hard drive has failed.

Did not try the F2 as suggested?
