Solution

First remove any USB connected flash drives/external drives.
If that doesn't help, then situation is a bit more serious.
You can get such message if disk drive has failed. It may have damaged boot record or it might have died altogether.
To repair it, you first determine health of the drive.
Replace it if necessary.
After that fix boot record or reinstall OS.
