Hey everyone, I messed up a bit while using my HP Pavilion x360. I was in the recovery manager last night, and I accidentally turned off my computer. Now, when I try to turn it on, I get a 'boot device not found' error. I've tried a bunch of solutions, but nothing seems to work. I don't have another computer or a USB drive to help me out. Is there any way I can fix this issue?

It sounds like your hard drive or SSD might be failing. Unfortunately, if that's the case, you're probably going to need to replace it. Since you don't have access to another computer, see if a friend can help you create a Windows installation USB using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool. That should help you reinstall Windows once you have the new drive.
Sorry to hear that! Your hard drive could be dead or corrupted, which is why the system can't see it. If you're able to, you might want to run a hard drive test using a bootable diagnostic tool. If it confirms the drive is toast, you'll need a replacement.
Looks like your hard disk has failed. If you can't create a rescue USB yourself, maybe someone can lend you theirs for recovery purposes. Otherwise, you might have to look into getting a new HDD or SSD.
