Hello - The message is telling you that it can't find your hard drive, which is your boot disk.
You didn't give any info about what laptop you have so I can't tell you what more to do except to find out how to boot into your system BIOS and see if the system sees any hard drive at all. If not it's most likely your hard drive has died, but there can be less dramatic reasons for the error.
So look in your manual and find out how to get into the system BIOS or come back here and give more info about your laptop (make and model and operating system) and someone will take your further along in troubleshooting the problem.
Regards,

my laptop is an Acer Aspire and i did exactly wat u said but my dad thinks the hard drive is fried so if that is true wat can i do?
Hello Again - If the machine is under warranty you have to get in touch with Acer and setup a return for repair.
If it's no longer under warranty you can take it to any local repair shop to have the hard drive replaced. Replacing the hard drive is about a 30 min job and I don't know where you are but I'd estimate getting the same or slightly larger HD and your Windows reinstalled would cost approximately $150.
Before you get anything repaired make sure you get at least a couple of estimates. There is an (unlikely) possibility that there is a problem larger than the HD and then you would have to reconsider the price of the repair vs. the cost of a new laptop.
Good Luck,
