I have an unusual laptop, HP Model 17-by3065st. It has both a SSD and a HDD. The boot disk is the 125 GB SSD drive that has the operating system on it, but it also has a 1TB HDD with everything else on it, mainly storage.
This morning my wife was on facebook when suddenly the screen blinked and there was just a dark blue screen with the message, "Boot Device Not Found." Next line says," Please install an operating system on your hard disk". Next line says. "Hard Disk" - (3F0)" .
Then the next line says, "F2 System Diagnostics"
I used the arrow keys to highlight "F2 System Diagnostics" and entered "Test Drive". It says "PASSED". Then I did the full test and it also says "PASSED", but it took 2 hours, which indicates to me that it's probably checking the 1TB HDD instead of the 125GB SDD drive with the operating system on it.
So the computer still just goes to the dark blue screen when I turn it on and shows the same message.
I tried all the suggestions on youtube, nothing there worked.
Any ideas what I should do?
