Automatic System Repair Loop

[Dorgen23]

Hi everyone!
So I have a Lenovo Legion y520 laptop. My problem is that it is stuck in an automatic repair loop, and I literally can’t do anything. If I try to do a system backup the STATUS_WAIT_2 error pops up. Won’t let me do a restore, saying no error just not letting me do that. Even tried using cmd but somehow the laptop don’t recognise any directory just X. It’s like it doesn’t have an hdd… Any ideas to fix it?
Thanks for your help!

“Cannot open volume for direct access” that’s what came up when I tried this..

Couple of questions if I may;

Had the computer been dropped or banged previous to this happening, such a new computer should not suffer a failed storage device so soon.

Is there any data on the HDD that you need to try and recover.
