So I went to start up my laptop today and when starting it froze at the log on screen without the log on popping up. It hung there for a while. So I restarted it. When I went to restart it, it went into a boot loop where I got the HP logo and that little circle of dots rotating. And it kept doing it repeatedly. So I shut it down again and the next time I got the error no boot device found.
I went into f2 to do diagnostics on the hard drive. When I do the quick hard drive check it tells me after a minute or two it can't even find my hard drive. I put a boot disk into my computer, and try to get to the C:\ drive command. It can't even find it.
So not sure what to do. Is my HD toast or is there a way to rectify this? My laptop is just over a year old. I had no prior warning or signs that my hard drive was bad in anyway. So this is a surprise to me.
I did try to use the start up fix in the boot disk, but that says it can't fix anything and to go to advanced
Any help would be appreciated

Open the case of your laptop (xxxx ???) and unplug the disk and reconnect it. Make sure that it is connected properly.
Then run the F2 check again. In case it can't find the disk again, you have to replace the disk
Do you have a HDD? Replace it with a SSD

Check the manual
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06691790.pdf
When you run the Boot-Disk, try to access the advanced options and the command prompt
there you type
diskpart
list disk
if you see the 512 GB disk take the number X
and type
sel disk X (number of the disk)
list par
exit
post the result
Edit
32 Bit and NVMe ?
