3F0

[Morgan2021]

Hello, 

Error message when I start my laptop

Boot device not found

Please install an operating system on your hard disk

HARD DISK ((3F0)

F2 System diagnostic

I am forced to restore default bios but sometimes I am unable to enter into the bios. Only F2 is accessible

I found many softpaq on hp support but not applicable for my model : hp probook 470 G0

Does it exist a softpaq to repair the 3F0 error on to a hp probook 470G0 ?

*****

I already :

-updated the bios

-replace the hdd by a ssd disk

-replace the memory

-reinstalled many times Windows 10

-Scanned the disk about viruses

Thanks in advance

@Morgan2021 -- the BIOS assigns labels, such as "3F0" to the first SATA device, and "3F1" to the second SATA device (usually the CD/DVD). So, something is wrong with the first SATA device:

• data cable is not connected to the motherboard
• data cable is not connected to the disk-drive
• data cable needs to be replaced
• power cable is not attached to the disk-drive
• try a different power-cable
• dead disk-drive

> replaced the hdd by a ssd disk

That should have resolved your issue. 

If you connect that HDD to a different computer, is that disk-drive "detected" when connected?

> Boot device not found

How can you install Windows, if the device was not found?

Enter BIOS SETUP, and add the SSD to the list of "bootable" devices.
