I am a complete noob and have spent the last 6 hours searching a way to fix what I have done!
- I installed 16.04 using USB using this tutorial https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop#5
- I did everything exactly how it explains it here; including step 6 "Allocate drive space", where I clicked on the "Erase disk and install Ubuntu".
- Everything seemed to install correctly until after I restarted the computer; step 12. I was never given a prompt to remove the USB so when it restarted the computer booted from the USB prompting me to try ubuntu, install, etc. So I restarted the computer again but this time removed the USB and now I'm getting a blue rectangular box that says:
Boot Device Not Found
Please install and operating system on your hard disk.
Hard Disk - (3FO)
F2 - System Diagnostics
For more information, please visit:

The computer a HP 19 if this helps at all. This is pushing my patience to the point of using this piece of junk computer for target practice and just go buy my mom a new one!
TIA for any help
