boot device not sound error

[Nikeetha]

Hello,

    I'm using HP notebook. Its not even an year old. But it is showing me an error which is "boot device not found error - hard disk (3FO)". I have updated my BIOS version, performed hard drive test(all the test got passed) , then i did complete reset , but i didn't get rid rid of the problem. After that i have reinstalled the OS also. Even after reinstalling the OS, i'm getting the same error again. Please do the needful.
