A well known problem with that Hitachi drive. Your drive is toast, as the magnetic material on some of the first eight sectors has bubbled up and flaked off. As a result, it can never boot.
Your only fix is to replace the drive. You can still recover data from that drive using an external enclosure, if data still remains on the drive. But that is your only hope. If still under warranty, Hitachi will replace the drive, or Lenovo will.
