If you getting this error then you won't be able to open computer in safe mood, Because this error message indicate that there is no proper bootable media selected or there is no OS in your Hard drive.
First thing you can do is go to BIOS and check what is your First boot device selected, if it is other then Hard drive then change it Hard drive and save setting and come out of it.
If there is any media, like Pen drive or any CD then remove it and start your computer.
If still you have same problem then I am afraid that your OS is Corrupted.

Try to boot to "safe mode" by pressing F8 frequently after switched on, choose safe mode. If it works then restart your pc. If it doesn't you can use OS CD to recover, choose start up repair.
