HP Laptop BIOS is NOT detecting Hard Disk

[Harsh-vyas]

Hi All,

 My laptop was not starting so I inserted a bootable pen drive for windows 7. It showed all the drives. But then to install clean copy of windows I formatted C Drive. But after that it was not allowing me to install windows on c drive with error: You can not install windows on Partition 0: Disk 1.

Then I turned off the pc and restarted the process. Then I found it was not detecting the hard drive and showing error 03f0 error boot device not found and no hard disk found. I tried following steps: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01443463/?openCLC=true but it didn't work.

Can anyone guide me what could be the problem? I would appreciate your help.
