First of all- it is nearly impossible to "uninstall" your C drive. Windows would never allow it since it runs on that drive. Only way to do it would be booting from a disk/usb and formatting the drive.

 

If you do not see a hard drive or C drive it is quite possible your hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced.Have you tried F2 System Diagnostics>immediately after powering on start tapping Esc key.From the menu tap F2 for diagnostics and run the test on hard drive.

 

Resetting BIOS to defaults >immediately after powering on start tapping Esc key. From the menu that opens tap F10 BIOS setup. Once in BIOS tap F9 key to restore to default settings. Next press F10 again to Save & Exit.
