First ensure that the SSD drive is firmly seated:

if that doesn't resolve then run system diagnostics (Fn+Power) and see if the drive fails diags.
If the drive passes diags, then you can try re-imaging.
If drive isn't detected and/or fails diags, replace the Solid State Hard drive

Boot record has been corrupted, or the hard drive is toast!....problem is that you have no cd/dvd rom so you cant insert a restore disk....if you wanted to test it yourself you would have to learn to boot from USB(flashdrive)....unless you have a external USB dvd that you can hook up to it to attemot to rebuild the boot record!

Operating system not found

there is problem with your hard disk. your hard disk wire may be loose. try to remove and refix all sata wires of your hard disk. "operating system not found" message may be coming because you may have not installed any os (windows, linux or mac) in your notebook. try to install operating to system to fix this. there may also be proble with your hard disk, your hard disk may be dead. if your notebook is showing message "operating system not found" without any reason then you may have put your notebook in high magnetic field area. due to high magnetic field, sometimes hard disk's are formatted automatically.

Operating system didnot reinstall

Try tapping F12 as soon as you turn the system on. Make sure that the CD is inside the CD drive before you press F12. Or if F12 is not the right key to launch you boot options, try to insert the disk, if you see "press a key to continue", then press a key right away. Try another XP CD, if you have one.
