Laptop startup issue

[Disneygirl21]

I started my laptop and it popped up a message saying

"Boot Device Not Found

Please install an operating system on your hard disk

Hard Disk (3FO)"

I don't know what it is or what to do to solve it.

Let's restore the BIOS back to Defaults and check if that helps

1. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.

2. Press the Power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS setup menu.

3. On the BIOS Setup screen, press F9 to select and load the BIOS Setup Default settings.

4. Press F10 to Save and Exit.

5. Use the arrow keys to select Yes, then press Enter when asked Exit Saving Changes?

6. Follow the prompts to restart your computer.

If the issue persists please run a Hard drive Test to confirm the Hardware Functionality

- Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
- Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. 
- When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
- On the main menu, click Component Tests and Hard drive
