Yeah I would agree with Wayfall. Most likely a HDD failure.
One hope would be that it could be a BIOS setting that caused that. Getting to the BIOS on a Lenovo if it's a thinkpad is just hitting 'Enter' when on the Lenovo splash screen.
Once there select the Restore Defaults option for the BIOS to go to its original setup.
It may work after that but if not- Take it to a Microsoft Store if you have one nearby (they do Hardware Diagnostics for free!)

can be two errors...one if your booting from a cd or usb stick to reinstall windows your cd or usb stick was not made right and has no bootable files. if it the hard drive then it can be blank or have an issue. check to see if the drive shows up in the laptop bios use microsoft media creation tool to download windows iso image and use there free iso to usb tool to make a new bootable usb stick to try and reinstall windows. also on most laptops if the drive is still good there is a restore partion on the main hard drive and hitting a set of keys at power on will start it. if not call or email asus for a small fee they wil lsend you the restore disks.
