Hi,

It means the hard drive has failed or could have come loose. You can check the cables connecting it to the motherboard. 

If there is important data on the drive you should first remove the drive and try to recover the data. You can get a USB to SATA3 adapter and connect as an external drive to a different computer:

Example:

https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-2-5-Inch-Adapter-Optimized-EC-SSHD/dp/B011M8YACM/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=...

or attach internally in a different desktop.

If the drive is dead it is going to be difficult and expensive to recover data. There are some data recovery centres which you can find online.

If the drive is dead you will need to replace the drive and reinstall the OS on the computer.

If you need further help with any of the above, provide the exact model or product number (not serial) of the notebook.

Hope it helps,

David
