I cannot get anything on computer when I turn it on other than it saying can't find op system

[Yodarose1]

Tried turning on computer like normal, and all I get is a message that says "An operating system can't be found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system. Then it says "Press control, alt, delete to restart and I did that , and it does nothing

Sorry I hit it just now and it went to startup menu that says " system info, system diagnostics, boot device options, bios setup, system recovery, which is (F1,F2,F9,F10,F11

Thank you for posting on HP Forums, 

Riddle_Decipher is at your service. 

As I Understand you are unable to boot into windows due to the black screen with advanced options and others,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Please follow the below steps to identify and resolve this concern: 

Step 1: Perform a hard reset 

HP Notebook PCs - Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset 

Step 2: Restore BIOS default settings 

Step 3: Test the hard drive using HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI (In your case, Skip to Step 4) 

Step 4: Reseat the hard drive (here's a video that shows how to re-seat the drive: Click here) 

  

If none of the above actions resolved the error condition, back up your personal data and then perform an HP System Recovery on the notebook.
