Can you reach BIOS? Is HDD identified? CD ROM not identified? Flash drive not identified?
Do you have a backup of your personal data?
OS key?
Last time system cleaned? thermal paste replaced?

Since you have a windows 7 oem installation go by here and download this:
Look at your windows sticker key on the side and select the right os from the iso menu.

Read what andre ms mvp has to say about the error, building the w7 flash drive installation and going through the windows install.

Hi. You can get windows ISO files here. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/home
I suggest you create another flash drive or a DVD. Some models don't support flash drives. Wait and see see what @Cycloid Torus has to say about your issue.
PS here's support for your PC. https://support.hp.com/us-en/produc...ebook-pc-series/4150055/model/4250175/drivers

You can reach BIOS, therefore you can make CDROM/DVD to be 1st boot device even if you cannot get USB drive to be recognized. Using another good computer, download and make a fresh installation copy of Windows 7 on a new CD. Adjust boot order and try to boot from the new media - and to use 'repair' if possible as you may then be able to copy your personal data from a 'fixed' HDD.
The point is that the system should recognize and boot from the HDD, the CDROM and the USB Flash Drive - every one of them should work. If they don't, it is most likely that the tracks you are trying to boot from are corrupted - so in each case it is best to try new media - especially, CDROM (a second copy is cheap; proving it works on another machine is easy) and USB Flash (proving it works in another machine is easy).
To take troubleshooting beyond this point requires detailed information, careful observation, clear description. Alternatively, you may wish to take to repair shop at this point. Otherwise, please describe steps as you take them and results that you experience.
