What was going on, it was my disc useage was at 100% a lot and that something was wrong with my computer then I factory reset it. While the factory reset is 44% in "resetting your computer" and the next thing I knew I had 2 options, stop or start with advanced options. Well, I chose to stop it, 5 minutes later, I turned it back on and I ran a SMART check has no that was the ID # 9367LW-86J89N-MFPX7G-60BR3 followed by the product id that is shown above. He said that when I start to Boot Device not found, please install an operating system on your hard drive. Followed by the hard drive (3FO), I can only click f2 and it gives me the link to visit the Help Center. The computer saying that it did not have an operating system was not the first alert, that I had, it was something else saying there was an error of hard disk which then became not having not not an operting system. I tried to go to f11 and go in this way, but regardless of what it always comes back to the screen that shows the found boot device, please install an operating system. Help, please! Thank you. in advance.

  • My laptop HP G62 at startup it says device not found Boot

    I dropped my phone for like 2 inches and now whenever I start it, it says device not found Boot and a bunch of other things.

    What should I do?

    I guess you will need to buy a new one.

    And you will also need the recovery disks to reinstall the operating system.

  • device not found Boot, hard disk does not exist... does that mean my computer is dead?

    Suspecting that Im in a world of pain here. I tried to turn on my computer and it says "boot device not found" - performed in test failed... when I hit F4 and test drive, he said "there is no hard drive. The test of memory passes, but under the boot device not found says blue "Please install an operating system on your hard drive"... and to make matters worse he makes funny sounds when he tries to start.

    Is there no hope at all that this computer working again? Is there a chance that everything I had on my hard drive can be recovered?

    You are the very welcome, Jonathan.

    dv5 is still not enough information to provide me with the service manual (in which case there is differerent for different dv5 models).

    But here is the link to the service manual I've pulled at random.

    http://bizsupport1.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c01550108/c01550108.PDF

    Guess it's safe to say that all dv5 models come with the laptop SATA drives.

    So, if you want to spring for $15, you can get this place that apparently has very good reviews.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817182138

    From what you describe (noise and other things), I would say that you don't have much chance of recovering the data, but it's up to you if you want to try the speaker or not.

    Here's what I recommend:

    Pull the hard drive and turn on the laptop.

    If the weird noise you heard has disappeared, then you can pretty much assume that the disc was the cause and replacing the disk and reinstalling the operating system will solve the problem.

    If the noise is still there, while there could be another problem, and it might be risky to throw good money after bad.

  • Envy of HP dv7: lack of factory reset. Freeze and crash device not found Boot

    I tried to reset. PC crashes and restarts BOOT DEVICE NOT FOUND, please install an OS on hard drive. Keeps crashing. I am at a total loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    In this case, you can try the following method.

    Download the file to Image of Windows 8 on the following link - Note that this Image file is subject to a ceiling of download, you may need to try over a period of a few hours before the download starts correctly.

    https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit?PLI=1

    Use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

    If you instead create a flashdrive bootable for this Image, try the free app below.

    http://Rufus.AKEO.IE/

    The product key for Windows 8 is encrypted in your bios chip and read automatically during installation.

    Other software and drivers you need can be found here.

    Kind regards

  • Operating system on laptop hard drive lost. I have a XP Recovery CD, but do not have access due to no operating system.

    Hard drive has been reformatted but not as a system disk. Laptop lacks a floppy drive to boot from. Any ideas on the question: How can I format HD as system disk?

    Highlite,
    So unless you have a floppy, it seems that you could be in trouble.  If your BIOS will not boot from CD then you can contact the manufacturer and see if they can send you a diskette or if they have another way to get the system to boot from the CD.  Or there's always the ebay... you may be able to find a set of readers for sale.  :(  A local PC shop may be able to help.

  • Not able to re - install the operating system

    Hello

    It's on HP Pavilion DV6 laptop.

    The laptop has been infected with virus & I had to re - install windows 7.

    I used the recovery disc bought from HP which had 2 drives.

    During installation, the first disc has been successfully read & when you are prompted for the 2nd, 2nd disc has been inserted. Once this system has continued to recognize the drive. So I had to restart the installation process. But the system does not recognize the discs. Used XP bootable drive also, but it does not work.

    PL let me know what needs to be done here.

    Concerning

    Vineet

    Hi, Vineet:

    You will need to go through several steps in order to get a XP disc to work on your relatively modern PC.

    Sometimes the recovery disks do not work and there is nothing you can do about it. Who knows why?

    Here is a workaround that you can use if you can read your 25-character windows product key 7.

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
