Hi @Rajeshmawal,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

It sounds like your HP 14 Inch Laptop is encountering an issue with detecting the hard drive, hence the error code F03. This error typically indicates a problem with the hard drive or its connection. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue.

 

  • Check Connections: Ensure that the hard drive is properly connected to the laptop. Sometimes, loose connections can cause detection issues.
  • Restart Your Laptop: Try restarting your laptop to see if it resolves the issue. Sometimes, a simple reboot can fix minor glitches.
  • BIOS Settings: Enter the BIOS setup (usually by pressing F2, F10, or Del key during startup) and check if the hard drive is recognized in the BIOS. If it's not detected here, it indicates a hardware problem.
  • Hardware Check: If you're comfortable opening your laptop, you can physically check the hard drive connections. Make sure the cables are securely connected to the hard drive and the motherboard.
  • Replace the Hard Drive: If none of the above steps work, it's possible that your hard drive has failed. In this case, you may need to replace the hard drive with a new one.

 

Remember to back up any important data on your hard drive if possible, especially if you suspect it might be failing.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
