a few days ago I wanted to do a total reset of my laptop, but when I turned it on it was written this: Boot Device Not Found Please install .... Hard Disk (3F0). I then found out that I had to check the Hard Drive, this is the result: -Testing drive: 1 SMART Check: -Passed Short DSL: -FAILED FAILURE ID: PK0A70-8H4AN2-XD7X7F-60RQ03. Now I don't know how to solve this problem. Thanks to whoever answers

That warning is telling that the hard drive has probably failed and needs to be replaced. According to the spec page, that PC has a typical SATA hard drive - 500 GB 5400 rpm SATA
Once the drive is replaced Windows and all software will need to be reinstalled. 1GB 2.5" drives are very reasonable and can be used to replace that drive. Or a 2.5" SATA SSD can be used to give a perceived speed boost to the laptop.
