Lenovo AIO will not boot beyond Lenovo Splash screen
Have already tried a forced shutdown but that did not solve this problem. I do hear one beep on power up cycle. I suspect a hard drive issue. Please suggest quickest way to diagnose this problem. Thank you.

1) Press Power button for 4 seconds to shut down the computer. 2) Press Power button to turn on the computer and at once Press F1 rapidly and repeatedly at Lenovo logo during boot up, then computer can enter BIOS setup interface. 2. There may be logical error or bad sector on the hard drive

Yep...did this and disabled Lenovo Service Engine. This allowed the system to come up with the procedure now "working on updates". Will run ckhdsk and memtest when up. Any other ideas about why this occurred?
if you want to know more, i suggest running diagnostics; i use the UBCD
Hardware diagnostic CD UBCD
--------------------------
go to the download page, scroll down to the mirror section, and click on a mirror to start the download
Download the UBCD and make the cd <<==on a WORKING PC, and boot the problem PC from it
Here 2 links, one to the general site, and a direct link to the download
since the downloaded file is an ISO file, eg ubcd527.iso - so you need to use an ISO burning tool
if you don't have that software, install cdburnerXP : http://cdburnerxp.se/
If you want also the Ram tested - run memtest86+ at least 1 full pass, - you should have NO errors!
direct download : http://www.memtest.org/
For disk Diagnostics run the disk diag for your disk brand (eg seagate diag for seagate drive) from the HDD section - long or advanced diag ! (runs at least for30 minutes)

** you can make a bootable cd - or bootable usb stick
*** note *** for SSD drives use the tool from the manufacturer, like intel 's toolbox :
