The BIOS is usually configured in order to stipulate the sequence in which the computer device will access the available bootable hardware devices. Internal hard drive, external USB drive, optical CD/DVD ROM drive, and network adapter are the most common bootable devices. In case the device gets fail while checking each device for the essential bootable files, the computer will verify that another device is obtainable. Once the computer BIOS identifies all the listed devices, but not able to find the bootable files, an error message like “3F0 error or Boot Device Not Found. Please install an operating system on your hard disk” might occur. Here, you can get quick HP Computer Technical Support from the experts.
