Mak is getting a 3F0 error.
Boot device not found please install an OS on your hard disc.
His comp is an HP 2000-299WM notebook T3500 2.10 GHz Proc. It was upgraded to 4 Gigs of DDR 3
We went through the steps on the HP website up to reseat the hard drive, and the next step is to call HP support. (no please no)
Any ideas??

My two "off the top of my head" ideas are that the HDD bricked or there's a hardware defect elsewhere - i.e. the cable connecting the HDD to the mobo is malfunctioned, or the motherboard itself is defective in some way.
I'll check the Googles later....

Well, your first mistake was getting an HP.
Sounds like a corrupted/damaged disk drive to me...

Try booting Ubuntu from a CD and see if you can access the data partition. If you have one.
You can also try bootrec.exe from a Windows 7 (it is W7, right?) repair disk; you can make it from the control panel on any W7 device, or probably download it from somewhere (but making it would be more reliable probably). Plenty of tutorials on the internet for using it, so you shouldn't have any problems with that.
