Hi,

 

In order to be sure we are on the same page, please confirm which commands you used to "clean" your hard disk drive. Do you mean the Diskpartk clean option as described here >> http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/005929en

 

If you erased all of the content on a drive, this is normal to have a boot device not found when powering on your computer. You will need to manually boot from the bootable media (unless you somehow cleaned it, too).

 

Insert the bootable device, keep pressing the Esc button during power-on to start the HP Boot menu

Then, once it opens press F9 for bootable options and select your bootable media.
