So I was using my laptop yesterday when it was being ridiculously slow so I powered it off by the power button and turned it back on and now it won't get back the acer splash screen. I've tried all different things like using windows repair and recovery discs and they don't load, the hdd doesn't have a name in the boot priority list and I've taken the hdd out and put it back in making sure it's in correctly but still nothing, does anyone know anything I can do?

I have an Acer Aspire E1-571

Install a different operating system (Linux distro pref) onto a USB thumbdrive and see if you can boot into it.

Turns out it was a hard drive failure, I got a new hard drive and installed windows onto it.
