While using Spectre notebook, the screen flashed & went black. Then a screen came up that says "Boot Device Not Found"" & "Please Install An Operating System On Your Hard Disk". Ran System Diagnostics & all "Passed". What do I need to do, and will I be able to save files, pics, ect on the computer?

check this
3F0 boot device not found error displays on a black screen in Windows 10
Consumer Notebook PCs - Boot Device Not Found (3F0) or Automatic Repair Errors
before try something save data
You can try a bootable cd / dvd type live cd (linux)

you can try removing the hard drive, in order to connect it to another computer internally, or with a usb adapter!

If your disk is not completely out of order, this gives you a small chance
