Hello everyone.

 

Up till today my laptop was working fine, albeit the startup would take some time, all of a sudden I get an error "Operating System not found".

An option is displayed below it, something like this: "Please reset BIOS to default settings" which I then did.

Later I started the laptop again and to my surprise, I get the error message "Boot Device Not Found" "Please install an operating system on your hard disk" "Hard Disk (3F0)".

I ran systems diagnostics-> Hard Drive check. I performed both quick and extensive check and I get an error saying the check failed.

I cannot perform a reset as I cannot access Hp recovery window (f11 key).

I don't have enough money to replace my hard disk at the moment.

All suggestions are welcome.

 

Thankyou.
