Boot Devide not found

[DadyMZ]

Hi all

I don’t know what is happening. When I turn on my laptop displays an error “Boot device not find”, “please install an operating system”, hard disc (3F0).

Please help me!

Hi @DadyMZ 

Welcome to the HP Support forum.

Do you use/have Windows 8.1 ?

You get this message because either of these:

• Computer's BIOS is not configured correctly and it tries to boot from a device (not standard HDD) that has no bootable stuff on it (e.g. empty USB pen drive)
• There is no HDD/SSD/storage drive present in the PC
• HDD/SSD is present but corrupted (or some connector is not working)
• [most likely] Operating system (e.g. Windows) is totally corrupt/unbootable  [most likely]

• You may/should review the official HP article about such issues > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01443463

I. Please, perform some basic hardware checks

1. Please, shutdown the computer using the power button

2. Power it on.

  2.1 As soon as you press the power-on button, immediately begin hitting the Esc button (like tap-tap-tap).

  This should open a HP Startup Menu

3. Choose F2 to open System Diagnostics (or the respective F option to run diagnostics).

Follow the on-screen instructions to perform System Test >> Quick test.

If there are no system checks/no quick tests, perform Run in test

or HDD (hard disk drive) check.

Let me know the test results.

II. Reset BIOS settings to default... Repeat steps 1-2 above but when HP Startup menu opens, please choose F10 to open BIOS setup.

Navigate through the BIOS and find the option to load default settings/configuration/reset BIOS settings to default.

Save the changes.

Exit the BIOS saving the changes.

Let me know how it goes.
