Hello,

 

The 3f0 error message you're receiving means the Hard Drive is bad and needs to be replace. You can also test the Hard Drive again through the BIOS. Here is a document that shows you how to test the HDD. 

Once you test the HDD please let me know the outcome. 

 

Here is a video showing you how to remove the HDD:

 

 

Could you please give me the full model name and number for the notebook that you have? 

 

Now, once I receive the product number I will give you the repair guide and also show you what HDD you can replace this one with.

 

If you have any more questions let me know.

Hello Angelprico59,

 

You state you are not able to boot getting a message stating “Boot device not found”, is that correct? I will be happy to help you.

 

What is the full make and model of the computer you have, if you are unsure where to locate that information have a look at this link for help.

 

Please respond back at your earliest convenience.

Thanks

Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!

Clicking the 'Accept as Solution' button is a way to let others know which steps helped solve the problem!
