Hello, yesterday I fell asleep with my laptop still powered on. In the middle of the night, I woke up long enough to find that it had powered off because the battery ran out. I put it on my desk and when I tried powering it on later on, I got the message "no bootable device found".

In the past I've always put the laptop to sleep before actually going to sleep, and it was fine later on when I tried to use it. Does anyone know what could be the issue, and how I can resolve it?

I cannot alter boot to the drive because when I entered BIOS setup, the HDD section BIOS reports "None" connected. I even went and tried connecting the drive to another computer, same result. It's like my drive simply doesn't exist anymore.
