Q: Get a folder with a question mark on start up, and then when I go to disk utilities, it can't find Macintosh HD

I put my mac to sleep and when I tried to start it up, I got that flashing folder with a question mark. When I try to follow the instructions on the help pages, I get no disk (this is after rebooting, getting the globe, connecting to the internet etc). I thought nevermind, I'll just reinstall the os and there's no disk to install it on. I don't know what to do. My warranty expired Nov 2012, it's a 2012 13inch MBP.

 

I just, after apple asking me for an entire year+ every single day, updated. WHY THE **** DID I UPDATE.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)
