(Redirected) Error: No boot sector on internal drive

I am new to the forum community.  I hope this is the right place to post a question.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 running Windows 7.  When I start the computer I get the above error.

When I press F1 it reboots and proceeds with startup as if nothing is wrong.

Why am I getting this message and how can I fix it?

Any help?

Please run the F12 preboot diagnostics:

Your system is an older model so you might want to create the Bootable Diagnostics CD/USB.
