I had no advance warning of issues; just tried to boot the system, and no go.
It thinks for a moment, and then suggests no boot record exists; please enter a boot disk and hit enter.
I created a ubuntu disk, and can boot the system. However, I can not 'see' the hard drive any where.
I created a bootmed disk, and tried to find the hard drive; it doesn't see it either.
I have data I would like to recover; if these 2 failed to see the drive, should I even try anything more?
I've spent many hours researching, reading, thinking, trying, etc.
My system does not make any noises, nor did it before.
My system did not fail or hiccup or show any signs of issue prior to this.
I did run some HP diagnostics, and got this:
