Sounds like it isn't detected the hard drive.

Turn on the laptop. Right when it turns on keep pressing on and off the F2 key. You will get to the BIOS.

Look under the machine info section and see if it detecting your hard drive.
 
unplug AC adapter, remove battery. How power button for 30 seconds then let it sit for another 15 with no batter or power cord. Then plug in just the power cord and turn on.
