What is this?
Hello geek808.
If you've replaced the hard drive and are getting that error it means two things. Either your replacement hard drive is bad (I've gotten hard drives that were dead on arrival, so it is possible) or the controller which you connect the hard drive to on the motherboard is going bad.
I hope this helps.

Hello chewang.
Have you run the diagnostics on your hard drive and memory? This document covers the hard drive test and this one covers the memory test.
Also, what is your notebook's product number?
Have a great day.

Hello kminhaj.
That error means your notebook can not detect a hard drive. Please run the diagnostic on your hard drive as per this document.
It will likely require you to replace the hard drive. I can provide you with instructions for the process if you provide me with your product number. This document can show you where it is located.
Have a great day.

Hello sudhansoo.
Have you run the diagnostics on your hard drive and memory? Here are the steps for the hard drive test and here are the steps for the memory test.
Make sure to post the results of both and have a great day!

And yesterday, while watching movie I accidently pressed a button, and a black screen appeared saying ''Boot device not found'' ''Please install an OS on your hard disk''
Hard disk (3F0). So, can you please help me out solving this error. Thanx.
