Sony VAIO turns on to black screen saying no operating system found how do I fix it?

Recently my laptop won’t go past the blue screen when I turn it on the first message says the pc ran into a problem and has to be restarted and when it restarts it says no operating system found. I no longer have the disc that came with the laptop is there another way to fix it?

It's possible the hard drive has failed or become corrupted.
Try going into the BIOS and confirming that it's looking for the correct drive with your OS on it at startup, and not trying to boot from something else.
