Does the system configuration tab show the hard drive?

Or was what you wrote all that there is?

Does the log on that first page show you anything?

I don't think so, I wrote above all it shows. Maybe in "boot options"?

Yeah, in "boot options", I go in the down and just under "Legacy boot order" I have "notepad hard drive"

EDIT: it's grey words, I can't go on

It would be worth looking. If one of the boot options lists something like a hard disk, things may be better.

That sounds like the HD is in trouble as Chiron thought. But it likely means that the computer will boot. Does it have a CD drive or USB ports? (looks like USB ports from your screen shot.)

I have that in "boot options"

Timing is not a problem for me at the moment. It's lunch time and my next appointment is in two hours.

Since it looks like it is configured to boot UEFI, you'll want to expand that OS boot manager item and see what it thinks is there.

If I click on the "OS Boot Manager", I stay on the same tab, buut I have a text in a frame

"Windows Boot Manager (TOSHIBA MQ01ABD075) [I think it's 0 and not o]

Anyway, take time for you lunch also

One of last resort with Win PE (this will remove all of my hard drive or not? )

No, PE is harmless. It's just another OS that can boot from USB and then allows you to peek inside your hard drive(s) without altering anything unless you specifically want to.
The first thing to do would be, of course, to backup sector-by-sector your current HD onto a new healthy USB one - a nice safety net for just in case.
