This error comes from the bios, so it happens even before the OS loads - and usually means a dead drive, a missing drive or a combination of the above. If you have a spinning drive (ie. not an SSD), can you hear the drive spin up?
As others mentioned, check the bios (I think on Vaio's, this means holding F2 down). Check there to see if your drive is still listed. If it is, it could be a damaged drive or some other corruption.
