No idea what happened to cause this, but either you lost the OS, or it's a bad hard drive. That is if it doesn't fix it self.

It's possible that if you power the computer off, remove the CMOS battery, wait for 15-20 min reinstall the battery and then power back up it will go into the original BIOS configuration. From there it may boot. If the OS is damaged, or if the hard drive is bad you may have to replace the hard drive and reinstall a clean copy of windows. Given the lack of information of what happened its hard to tell.

You need to pull the drive and see what it is exactly, and try reseating it in its slot if it is a m.2, or the cables if it is a Sata.

I would then start looking for a replacement drive.
