hello! welcome forums! sorry hear you're having problems.

first of go bios , check default boot device hard drive?
if not change , try again.

failing this, out live usb or cd , boot can find out more system.

once in live environment go terminal pressing ctrl+alt+t, enter following command

code:

sudo fdisk -l
