Can HW I insert a disk?

Hi, I'm not a gadget guru so my question may seem STUPID!  I have two cd/dvd drawer on my pc, but I do not see a disk space.  The top drawer there 4 small white clips that makes me think that maybe, somehow the disk inserted beneath them.  I tried, but failed.  Any suggestions?

A little 101 for floppy drive:
Excerpt: source - http://pcsupport.about.com/od/componentprofiles/p/p_fdd.htm

While always a component of many existing computers, floppy drives are moving slowly into disuse as the popularity offlash readers and other portable media players increase. In fact, the floppy drive is therefore more standard equipment on many new computer systems of today.

Floppy drives which can install it inside a computer case are less and less accessible. In general, the best option when you add a floppy drive will be to buy an external, probably USB based.

    A 'pilot' is a software, you cannot insert a disk in it.

    Do you mean the CD/DVD drive?

    There should be a button on the front of the computer next to the DVD player, it is usually on the right side. Some cases hide it, but there should be a space to grow. After you press the button the DVD player should open.

    This message occurs when your hard disk is not recognized. The problem is all of a sudden upward?

    There are several possibilities:
    a: the boot sector of your hard drive is damaged, it can be solved by Re-partitioning (FDISK) and re-formatting the HD
    b: your hard drive is faulty
    c: your IDE controller is defective

    If possible, you could go out the HD and try to read it in a USB - 2, 5 "hd - case

  • Tecra A2 (02R002) PTA20A Insert System Disk

    I recently got one of these laptops given by a friend who has updated, and since reformatting the entire HARD drive, whenever I start, it flashes to the toshiba start screen and then "insert system disk in drive and press any key when ready" now, I tried to insert a windows xp home disc and also a live ubuntu disc , and he does not choose one of them. Am I missing some special system of toshiba drive?

    No, you're not missing something special. I can explain why he doesn't like by you:

    you´ve formatted the hard drive and the bootsequence is not set that starts the CD drive before the hard drive. So I suggest, if you have a winxp or a live ubuntu disc, then press simply F12 or 'c' and it should start up.

  • Pavilion dv6 - 7095ca: no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key


    Thanks for your help and please excuse my bad English.
    Please check item 7, if you're in a hurry. This is the point with my Pavilion DV6 - 7095-CA:

    (1) the operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), the provided original with my 7095CA Pavilion, more updates HP until 2013, and all Windows updates until July 2015.

    (2) now I can't access the operating system and I have no interface UEFI. I can see that I press F2 at startup, just a test simple disk in BIOS f.0Une (the test shows that the disc is OK)

    (3) return in 2013 it took a drive failure. I did replace the disk and reinstall original Win7, all updates, including the HPS, win7 updates and all my personal software.

    (4) at this time, I bought a spare hard drive and did a complete copy of the disc using Partition Wizard bootable cd. The second disc has been tested and worked perfectly, with all of my personal software on this subject.

    So I have 2 HDs identical with the same system on both drives, fully working and tested.

    (5) a few days ago I came across the HP website and made a few updates, including the BIOS f.0Une (the last BIOS update, was of course).

    (6) after BIOS update ran, I received the message "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

    (7) I couldn't solve the problem, so I did remove the hard drive and install my backup drive, which lay in a dry place without danger from 2013.

    (8) I turned on the computer and got the same message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key", and I couldn't find any way to solve this problem.

    Now I'm doing a new installation on a third HD everything works very well, so far, in the new facility and I will never buy HP again.

    Hello

    Seems that the laptop can not find the bootable source.
    This means that the HARD drive is malfunctioning or the boot sector is defective.

    By the way; have you tried to change the boot order in the BIOS?

  • G72 Pavilion. : no boot device. Insert the disk and press any key

    My hard drive died recently. I installed a new. Now I'm gettig no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key. What should I do to fix this?

    Hello

    If you find your recovery DVD, you can use them to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - this is described in the document of HP here.

    If you do not, you can order a replacement set by starting at the link below-, the cost can vary a bit depending on where you live, but they are generally inexpensive.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    If you have a problem with this link, try to order them directly from HP.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite 2140CDS: message: "insert the disk and press a key".

    Hello

    I got this laptop but the necessary update. I tried to put a master drive from my other laptop to update and it came with 'error' and now when I turned it back on it does nothing about it, totally blank and rpet "insert the disk and press a key".

    I've got everything I can think but still can not do anything.

    Please can someone help?

    Hello

    What do you mean with master drive? Do you mean the Toshiba Recovery CD or what?

    It seems that the laptop can not find a source of seed and so this message appears on the screen!

    If you use a FDD drive please check if the disk has been removed.

    You must simply insert your Toshiba Recovery CD and boot from the CD/DVD drive. That's all.

    PS: Check if the HARD drive isn't too bad, as if the internal HARD drive is malfunctioning you will not be able to reinstall the OS from the CD

    I have attached my external, a drive with a boot in drive but no difference what I am doing wrong?

    Mark has soon

    Looks like you can't boot from the CD.
    The message insert system disk and press any key any appears because the laptop can not find any operating system and bootable CD.

    Try to insert an original Windows CD and try to press F12 immediately after that laptop was on the F12 key should activate the start on-screen menu.

  • I screwed up trying to install windows on my computer 10 and I XE off installer and now its says "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

    I was just trying to download 10 on my computer windows using boot camp assistant. I answered the questions for windows when you need to respond as what kind of language you use and then I messed up on one of the questions. I didn't know how to go back so I just pressed the red x. When I did that he must get off my computer and when it's done I got a black screen and then it says "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" I don't know what he meant by no bootable disk and I was hoping that you guys can help me fix.

    If stop you your Mac and your power it back up and hold down the Alt/Option key, you see a Windows selection? If so try to select and see if the installation will continue.

  • No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key

    Hello

    I was with boot camp to install 10 Windows from a usb key. The first problem I encountered was an error message stating that Windows supports software could not be downloaded on my flash drive. I read that the necessary drivers could be installed later so I unchecked the box. The part of the installation, then training camp as it should (create a partition etc.)

    However, when the Mac went to restart and (probably) to start the program installation of Windows, the error message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" displayed. My problem is the wireless keyboard does not respond and the light on this issue seems to suggest that it is not connected. My guess is that the drivers needed, such as Bluetooth are not there.

    I'd be happy enough to restart OS x and forget all about Windows, but I can't see how to get around this problem?

    A wired keyboard could work?

    any help is appreciated!

    Thanks in advance

    Max.

    A wired keyboard and mouse will work. If you try to install Windows and tried to download the Windows software on a wireless network, try a wired connection. to rebuild your USB Installer.
