FAQ's:
Q: What if changing the options for Legacy/UEFI doesn't help or I cannot change them?
A: If you can not change the settings in BIOS or if changing them did not help your situation, skip that step and proceed with the rest of the steps in this updated video: https://youtu.be/JBuJp3lrlzI. What was the result of the HP diagnostic test?
Q: The diagnostic scan says that my Hard Drive is not installed or that it failed the test.
A: If the HDD failed the test or if the test said your HDD is not installed, I would first try 'reseating' the Hard Drive as you can see here in this updated video: https://youtu.be/lKb2pPQrkRk. After that, try the diagnostic scan again. If it still says that its not installed or bad, then its most likely bad and needs to be replaced. You can see replacement examples here in the HDD/SSD Replacement List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/pcmonkey/list/2YYVHG1HEY9ZG?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d
Let me know how that goes :)
You would also then need to install an operating system onto the new drive.

Q: Changing settings in BIOS didn't help and everything passed the test?
A: If changing the settings in BIOS did not resolve the issue and the diagnostic test passed all components, then its most likely an operating system error. Try to reinstall Windows.

Q: My diagnostic test says 'Unavailable' or I cant run it. What do I do?
A: I would first try 'reseating' the Hard Drive. You can see that done here in this updated video: https://youtu.be/lKb2pPQrkRk. See if that helps.
If you cant run the test, then we don’t know for sure if the HDD is bad or not. You can proceed a couple different ways. You can assume its good and that the Operating System is the cause of your error. Or you can assume its bad and replace it before installing an Operating System to the new one. If you wish to reinstall Windows, you can see video links to help with that here;
