No hardrive found

[Sinisa3388]

I completed the windows 11 update and soon after my screen completely froze so I powered off the computer manually and when I attempted to power it back on I received th screen with Boot Device Not Found Hard Disk- (3FO) and when I go to F2 to do a system diagnostics. I then ran a hard drive check and received no hard drive installed. Please check that the power and data cables are connected properly error.
