      "Operating System not Found" is an error message that means the computer cannot launch/find Windows. Either the hard drive where Windows is installed is defective, or your Windows installation is flawed, or for some obscure reason, the computer is booting from something other than the hard drive where Windows is installed.

      Access the BIOS during the startup of your computer by pressing F11 or Delete, and show what the PC displays.

      If no hard drive is recognized by the PC, your hard drive is likely defective.
      If the hard drive is still displayed, try to boot from it.
      If the problem persists, you could attempt to repair Windows using the Windows installation disk if you have one, or a USB drive with Windows saved on it.

      With the CD:

      1. Turn off the computer.
      2. Insert the installation CD into the CD drive.
      3. Turn on the computer.
      4. Follow the steps until you reach the option to "Repair" Windows.
      5. Click on "Repair".
      6. Click on "Next".
      7. When the repair is finished: click on "Restart the computer".
      8. Remove the CD from the CD drive when the screen is black.
      9. Windows is repaired, we are saved.

      With the USB drive:

      1. Turn off the computer.
      2. Plug in the USB drive.
      3. Turn on the computer.

      4. Press F11 or Delete to open the BIOS.
      5. Locate the USB drive.
      6. Boot from the USB drive. ("launch the USB drive")
      7. Follow the steps until you reach the option to "Repair" Windows.
      8. Click on "Repair".
      9. Click on "Next".
      10. When the repair is finished: click on "Restart the computer".
      11. Remove the USB drive when the screen is black.
      12. Windows is repaired, we are saved.

      This type of error is quite common, you can easily find help by searching for the error message "Operating System not Found" on the internet. More experienced people than me can provide you with more details.

    Good evening, this is the case when the BIOS searches for the boot system on the network, presumably your hard drive is corrupted or malfunctioning.

      This topic is well documented; you have a search bar for it, and you have several possible choices depending on the PC, starting with a function key to display the recovery console and choosing either a system repair or a recovery to a previous date, or booting from a CD or USB installation drive to go into repair and not install. But all of this is useless if the hard drive is no longer recognized in the BIOS.

      1. To enter the BIOS, restart your computer and repeatedly press the key designated for entering the BIOS setup (common keys include F2, F10, DEL, or ESC) right after powering on the device until the BIOS screen appears. 2. To install Windows via a USB drive, plug in the USB drive, restart your computer, enter the BIOS, set the USB drive as the first boot option, save the changes, and then follow the on-screen instructions to install or repair Windows. 3. To find the brand of your PC, check the manufacturer's label on the device or refer to the documentation that came with it. Common function keys to access the BIOS include F2 for Dell, F10 for HP, and DEL for many desktop BIOS setups.
