Hi,

Based from the error that you're getting, that could only mean that the Operating System has been corrupted already. I would suggest ordering a factory reset disc from the manufacturer of the laptop.

Hello,
If this is a new laptop it is possible that you bought it without an operating system and you will need to buy one.
If it is not a new laptop then have a look and see if you can find a serial number for activating your operating system then google your operating system name followed by USB boot download.
Depending on the OS you will need at least a 4GB USB/CD to install the OS(Windows).
If you cannot find your operating system serial number you may need to buy a new one.

Hope this helped,
Lewis W

Actually it could be a lot of things, can you boot to BIOS? If so ensure the BIOS has your OS drive listed as the primary boot device. MBR may be damaged, might be from virus or malware, see if you can get an OS disk for your OS and boot to it and try a repair
