I was playing a game (Ark: survival evolved) and it crashed and my whole screen went black and everything froze so i restarted my laptop only to see the blue screen of death and I was stuck in the automatic repair loop and i tried EVERYTHING to fix it and then I tried to format my drive using the command prompt and everything was going good until my laptop died halfway through the formatting process I plugged in the charger and started the computer and i was met with a screen saying “Boot Device Not Found, Please install an operating device on your hard disk, Hard Disk - (3FO), WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS, PLEASE HELP ME
