When I turned on my computer it went to a black screen stating, No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key. I do not have a boot disk and am not sure what to do next.

Welcome to HP Forums, 

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips, 

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out!

 

As I understand you have the error message - "boot device not found or no bootable device",

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

Did you attempt to reseat the hard drive as it isn't detected on your F2 diagnostics?

 

While you respond to that, 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: Re-seat the hard drive (here's a video that shows how to re-seat the drive: Click here) > 3F0 error represent a hardware malfunction, a reseat should help, if it doesn't, please Contact HP as the next step will not help.

 

Step 5: Perform an HP System Recovery

 

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. See one of the following documents for instructions:
