Q: Tried to turn on Mac and screen is just white/grey with a question mark coming on and off….are the recovery steps safe to do myself as I am not very computer literate?

I have tried to turn on the iMac at work and it is making a funny noise like rain drops, very slow ticking and also a blank screen with a flashing question mark comes on. What should I do? I downloaded the Apple hints in rectifying this but I am not computer literate and am a bit nervous to do it as it is the computer of the person I work for....any help appreciated - I was going to go for the simple option and take it to the Apple store - what should I do? Heeeeelp :-)
