It means it can't find an MBR ( Master boot Record ) or an O/S
Either the Boot record of your disk or the entire disk has been erased.
You will need to install an Operating system to make it work

Hard drive is not functioning, either it is the circuit that links the drive to your CPU is broken or the drive itself, it is the only explanation for computer just quit out the blue.
Check the power, check the ribbon cable, check the BIOS for any recognition of your hard drive, including the mentioning of SMART if you got it running.
