Hard Drive Failure , replacement SSD not recognized Hard Drive Error 3F0

[TEE_PEL]

Computer failed to boot, I ran a hard dive test and got an error 

Failure ID: PSPS3G-7TC98J-RXG2MF-60T503

I contacted HP they stated the hard drive failed and I needed a new one.  I order a recovery DVD set to reinstall windows.

I installed a new SSD and it is not being recognized. 

The recovery disk says no hard drive found.

When I ran a test I get no drive found and there is an error Hard Drive - 3F0

Thanks for posting your query in the HP support forums.A good day to you. Brilliant efforts and terrific troubleshooting of the issue. Kudos to you for that. I am glad to assist you.

Did you check if the SSD is compatible with the notebook by checking the service guide of the notebook?

Was it purchased online or from a local store?
