This document applies to all models of the following HP Commercial Desktop PCs. PCI Simple Communications Controller under Other Devices.
My wife's laptop came up with the below error message one evening after a forced reboot.
'Boot Device Not Found
Please install an operating system on your hard disk
hard disk (3F0)'
To me, this would normally indicate that the boot order has changed and cannot find the hard drive to boot to.
I switched off the device and powered back on and roughly took 10-15 minutes to show the same screen again. Very odd.
Now knowing when ever I do anything it will take 15 minutes to load. I first thought it was the screen and connected it to an external monitor but doesnt do anything.
When I got back to this screen I pressed F2 for System Diagnotics. It passes the Memory test but erros with 'No Hard Drive Found' when running a Hard drive test.

I go down the troubleshooting road of removing the battery and CMOS battery to fully power down and power up again, no avail.
i hold down the Powerbutton for 30 seconds to no avail.
I managed to get to the BIOS which was extremely limited and not what I was used to , it was an old school BIOS and not UEFI. anyway I enabled Legacy boot in case that did anything and not when I power cycle I get the below:
'press esc to access startup menu'
This will be on this screen for a good 20 minutes before continuing with any Function Key.
I managed to boot to a USB stick with Windows 10 DaRT and open up a command prompt. If I run a disk part
- Diskpart
- List disk
I only get the USB stick listed.
Not looking good for the SSD, if I remove the SSD it still shows the 'Boot Device Not Found, Please install an operating system on your hard disk' error but thats because no hard drive is in it and it is alot faster to boot and navigate round.
Has anyone had this experience? The warrenty exired 4 days ago (typical) and Ive only had this for a year.
