    Your English is fine I can fill in the gaps from what good translate tries to say :)

    It would seem to me that your BIOS has has not been configured correctly to recognize the hard drive as the boot drive for the OS.

    Now regarding the OS I would recommend Windows 8.1 for this case as it has improvements over Windows 8. However the choice is up to you.
