Hi @Armand10,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

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

I understand your HP computer shows a message like “Operating system not found” or “cannot find operating system.” It usually means the PC is not detecting the hard drive properly, or there is a problem with the drive/boot files. HP notes that errors with words like “disk,” “HD,” or “OS not found” often point to a hard drive detection issue.
 

What you can try

I hope this will help.
 

Take care and have a good day.

I'm an HP Employee.
