@Devanshi7998 If both the short and extensive hardware test determine that the hard drive is not installed, it's mostly because it's internally not connected properly or its malfunctioning,
I suggest you remove and reconnect the hard drive using the steps mentioned in the service and maintenance guide on HP website.
If you aren't able to find it, please share the below information and I'll get it for you:
