Hard Disk Error 3f0

[Jadine_]

I've been having this error for a while now.

When I tried to boot up my system one day, it came up with a 'Boot Device Not Found (3F0)' error and I have no clue why.

I can't seem to find the cause. I've changed the BIOS settings to their default settings, tried booting in Legacy Mode, and I've replaced the HDD for an SSD, yet it still comes up with the same error.

With my old HDD, it failed a System Diagnostics test and I consequently replaced it for an SSD.

However, when I fitted the SSD, there was no change, except for the drive passing all diagnostics tests.

I would appreciate it highly if I received help.

Thanks!
