My laptop says it cannot find a harddisk while starting (3F0). I tried to resolve it by loading the setup defaults for the BIOS, but starting up again is giving the same message: 3F0. What else can I do?

Thanks a lot Banhien for your quick answer. I did step 1, but that didn't solve the problem.  Step 2 is impossible without being able to start up the laptop beyond the 3F0-error and in step 3 the harddisk cannot be found, so I'm stuck.
