If that is the case, the machine requires a custom Master Boot Record and utility partition, usually installed by a ‘HDD prep utility’. Repair at this point would be to zero out the drive, obtain the ‘HDD Prep utility’, get it on a bootable media, boot it in the machine and run it.I have a repair and recover disk from Lenovo - it doesn't work either.

If that is the case, then perhaps you may wish to test it on another computer. It is entirely possible that either your CD or DVD laser is fried.
