No boot option in boot menu

[Arkieg]

Hello everyone,

My notebook display the :

"Boot device not found"

Please install an operating system on your hard disk.

Hard Disk (3F0)

All hardware tests are passing.

I tried to boot via an USB with a Linux distro on it but it doesn't recognize it. It doesn't detect any boot options for that matter. Can't update the BIOS apparently (no options).

Any ideas ?Boot menu

Hi! @Arkieg, Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!

I understand you are not getting boot options in the boot menu on your PC.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?

Are you able to access BIOS or F2 on your PC?

Please provide the product number of your PC to assist you better.

Check in BIOS if the hard drive is getting listed in BIOS.

Try restoring BIOS to default

To boot into BIOS turn on your PC keep tapping the F10 key you will boot into BIOS.

Restore default BIOS settings

When you have finished using your bootable CD or DVD, restore the default BIOS settings. This enables Secure Boot and sets the Windows Boot Manager as the primary boot device.

1. Turn on the computer and immediately press the F10 key repeatedly, about once every second, until the Computer Setup Utility opens.

2. Under the Exit menu, use the down arrow key to select Load Setup Defaults, then press Enter to confirm the change.

   Figure : Exit menu

   

3. Select Exit Saving Changes, then press Enter to select Yes.

Configuring the boot order-

The boot order can be configured on the Advanced tab in the BIOS settings menu. The steps for modifying the boot order may vary depending on the model of the computer.

   NOTE:

BIOS configurations vary depending on the computer. For further information on a specific computer, refer to the documentation provided with the computer or go to the HP Drivers and Downloads page. The BIOS settings are generally listed in the Maintenance and Service Guide.

Follow the steps below to configure the boot order on most computers.

1. Turn on or restart the computer.

2. While the display is blank, press the f10 key to enter the BIOS settings menu.

      NOTE:

   The BIOS settings menu is accessible by pressing the f2 or the f6 key on some computers.

3. Select the Advanced tab using the right and left arrow keys.

4. Use the up and down arrow keys to select Boot Order.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to change the boot order.

Also, if the issue still persists try running a system diagnostics test on your PC and check if the hardware components on your PC are functioning correctly.
