Hello,

Try this 1

Go to BIOS ---> Load default settings --> Set the first boot device as "Hard disk".

--> Save the settings and exit from BIOS.

[In BIOS, you can find the option like Boot Order" or "Boot Order Priority". Set the

first boot device or priority as "Hard disk". You can find the instructions regarding

how to make changes in the BIOS at the bottom or at the left side in BIOS]

If the problem still exists then perform "Hard Drive Self Test".

Go to BIOS and look for the option "Hard Drive Self Test ".

[Note : Make sure you Plug the AC Adapter into the laptop]

Good Luck
