Getting "No operating system"

[Guest]

When I boot, I get "No operating system" after the HP logo screen, does this
mean my HDD has stopped working?

TIA - Daddio

If not, it certainly means that you're in BIG TROUBLE if you don't
have a backup.

Not necessarily.
What happened immediately before this message began to appear on boot?

The computer was up and running for a few days as always, I rebooted and it
was the very next thing to happen, I'll check out your posted links.
