Hello, I have a HP Mini 110-3030NR. Yesterday while I was working, all my programs and windows suddenly stopped responding, and then it brought me to a SMART Hard Drive Error screen. When I tried to press enter to continue startup, it would just say "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key", and repeat if I pressed anything. When I tried pressing F2 and doing the diagnosics, nothing would happen. I had to hold down the F2 key for at least 2 minutes until it brings me to the next screen. When I try to do F4 to do the Hard Drive Test, it does not respond at all, no matter how much I press it or how long.
I then tried doing ctrl+alt+delete, which brought me to a new screen. This one says:
"Boot Device Not Found
Please install an operating system on your hard disk
Hard Disk (3F0)
F2 System Diagnostics"
Again, when I try to do F2, it doesn't work no matter how long I wait.
I have some important files on my hard drive, and I just want to get to them so I can back them up somewhere so I don't lose them, but there's no way I can access them. Please help, what can I do?
