Welcome to the forum tonyd51,

It sounds like either – your HDD is corrupt or dead, or the BIOS is looking at the wrong drive to boot from. Have you a USB stick plugged in?

tonyd51 – Welcome to the forum.

On the [F2] bios boot screen, press enter and look for the hard drive details which should be device No.1 ie. the highest priority.
If nothing is reported then the HDD is probably u/s.

Hope this helps
