HP Laptop Fix - Boot Device Not Found - Hard Disk (3F0)

How to fix boot device not found - hard disk (3f0) error when booting your computer or laptop. The issue can be that the system is looking to another boot device like a usb key or cd instead of your hard drive (fix in bios boot options). Hard Disk (3f0) error code on boot can be from a dead or dying hard drive. This boot error could mean that your bios option are set to legacy and not secure boot or UEFI boot.

I fixed my faulty HP laptop with a hammer. It didn't solve the hard drive issue but I felt a lot better. Never again would I purchase a HP product. My mobile phone is faster.

I have exams tomorrow and my laptop does this to me 😃🤘

update 6 months later: i used my phone for the exam and it turns out that the laptop i was using fell flat on its screen when the owner that time was my older sibling.. the said laptop is now finally fixed (after being on standby for months) for the usage of my younger sibling and i got a hand-me-down laptop from my cousin so it all worked great in the end ☺

I just purchased this used computer for $50. I am not sure how things will end up. However, after following your directions the system is updating and I see the welcome screen! This is the best it's been and has cost me nothing more! Thank you and God bless you!

"It's a whole other can of buckets." lmao. Sounded like something Michael Scott would say.

I love your enthusiasm. Good morning giggles for me over coffee :) P.S. Thank you for this video. It helped my fiance fix his computer within minutes. He ran the quick hard drive scan, powered his Lap top off and on, and BAM! Fixed.

OUR Mistake was to Buy an HP Laptop. HP IS OFFICIALLY DEAD to me. NO one in my Family is ever going to buy HP Product ever again.

Thank you! I upgraded my laptop from HDD to SSD. Cloned the old HDD to the new SSD and I had this issue. Put in the old HDD and still had the issue. Legacy boot fixed it for me 👍

Hero! I was about to download a new OS and then came across this video. Changed the legacy setting, and fixed it!

[adammcfarlane]

This is the first time I have ever taken the time to comment on a YouTube video. Thank you so much. I had taken my laptop apart and it wouldn't load, changing the legacy option in the bios to enabled made it run instantly. Legend mate

I have exams in a month and my laptop is giving me troubles. 😭

[gastondelconte]

Dude you have just saved my life! I thought a lot of information was lost. In my case I had to change the Legacy Support to enable, Don´t even know what that means, but helped the laptop work. Thank you a lot!!

[jeffandemmamcgregor]

[DerrickBarrows]

Thank you for the video. Struggling with an alienware that doesn't think it has a HD. This gave me some avenues. I like your presentation and tone.

Legacy support was my issue, I had broken my laptop and took the internals out to boot on my desk and was given this hardrive error, I had so many projects I would have hated losing. Thanks for your video man, saved me. Crazy how one can look over this simple thing because you’re panicking over losing everything 😭😂 thank you man
