DV7-4180us giving msg No. Boot Device or n, HDD, Win7 does not start.

Well, I think I've reached the beginning of what may be a serious problem. I've been away for 9 months and my laptop had been stored in his bag all the time not used with the battery disconnected. I went 2 weeks ago and it had been fine until last Saturday. I started it upwards and once the logon screen Win7 and logging frozen inside, and the screen went black. I have it turned off and restarted, and then he came up with the error message "No. Boot Device" as if Win7 is no longer installed. I ran several virus scanners and they came back without anything, I'm sure that this is not a virus, I mean I have not yet downloaded something long because before my departure other than all of the updates, I missed. I tried to reset the BIOS to factory default and use PC tune-up AVG to fix all the errors, but I'm still having this issue.  Funny, it is sometimes the laptop runs and sometimes it won't so I think this load default Win7 will progressively get worse? Not really sure cause I'm not very technical with laptops.

I tried to run the test drive in the BIOS when it does not load, but it is just like "No hard drive detected" every time, but it passes the test of memory.

The reason why I'm here is to know what are my options to resolve this problem, so far the only thing that I can think of is to replace the HARD drive and reinstall Win7 but I want to make it as painless as possible, or see what others can suggest.

I have no disc for reinstallation of Win7 or any similar to disks. My laptop is out of warranty. I know that I have the Local disk drive (c :)) and also the recovery disk (D :).)  My hard drive is a TOSHIBA MK6465GSX.

Some of my questions are when I take off the Toshiba HDD that will of course remove the (C :) drive BUT it will also delete my recovery disk (D :)? * see link below for what players I have *)

Should I replace the HARD drive I have to reinstall Win7 correct?

Hello

A safe and fast way is to clone your HARD drive when it is until running, it means you have the same OS, drivers, software. All you need is the same size or more (capacity) of HARD drive and cloning software. You can find some free cloning software in the following list:

  • Satellite A30 does not start with the USB device connected at boot time

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A30 and sometimes it does not start.
    After turning on, not even the BIOS starts.
    even if sometimes the BIOS starts, but the OS does not load.

    I figured out that its related to USB devices connected at boot time.
    If no USB devices are connected, it starts without a problem.
    Even if the start-up is suspended, as soon as you unplug start it BIOS USB devices.
    Its ok to connect USB devices later, once the system has started.
    I disabled "removable devices boot" and "network startup."
    just in case, but it makes no difference.

    BIOS is version the most recent (1.70) and it comes up with all kinds of USB devices.
    printer, mouse and (self-powered) external USB hard disk.

    Is this a known issue?
    There is no known workaround solution?

    Hello

    I put t know why this happens, but it has to do with the BIOS.
    The same thing happened on my old laptop. I couldn't start my unit while the USB printer has been turned on and connected.
    The only solution is to disconnect the external USB device during the boot process.

    RSY you should check if the order of boot in the BIOS has been on the HARD drive first.

  • Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data?

    Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data? This should be a CD because it doesn't have a floppy disk on my laptop drive. It is maybe that my hard drive has begun to fail and therefore cannot locate XP startup files. I can not start using one of the other methods of starting for example. Safe mode. If I can recover the data, I can then reload Windows and check the surface of the disc etc etc. Thank you all for your comments. Steve

    Lately, I'm leaning toward the Hiren's BootCD you can download here:

    http://www.hirensbootcd.NET/

    On the left, click on download, scroll down, choose the most recent version

    The download link is a little hard to see.  It is at the bottom of the page, above the drop for older versions and looks like this (click this component to download the ZIP file):

    Direct HTTP mirror + Torrent, Torrent Magnet

    Click the "Live HTTP Mirror" link to start the download and save the ZIP file on your desktop of somewhere that you can remember.

    The ZIP file is large, so the download will take probably some time to complete.  Then unzip the download to extract theHirens.BootCD.ISO file that will be used to create your new bootable CD.

    Create a bootable CD. ISO file is not the same as simply copying the. File ISO onto a blank CD.  You must use software that includes how to burn a. ISO to a CD to create a bootable CD.

    File ZIP the Hiren is the file BurnToCD.cmd that you can double-click to launch it.  The BurnToCD.cmd will use the file BurnCDCC.exe to burn the. ISO file onto a blank CD using your existing CD burner.  You can also use your own burning software as long as your software is able to create a bootable CD. ISO file.  More modern burning programs can create a bootable CD. ISO image.  Create a CD from an ISO image bootable is not the same as just the file on a CD burning.

    It would be a good idea to test your new bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.
    These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When starting on the Hiren's CD, you will see a menu of options.  Choose Mini XP.

    It will appear while Windows is loading and you will be presented with a desktop computer that has the look and feel of the interface of Windows Explorer, you are already accustomed to using.  You will feel at home.

    Using the Mini XP, you can access the Internet, maneuver around your system, copy files, replace the files, run the scans for malware, etc.  There are dozens of free and useful tools included in the CD that can be used to repair your system, or copy files to another device such as a USB device or an external drive if drop in trying to repair your system.

    If you want to see if you can fix your system, describe what is happening when you try to start and to answer these questions:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
