no boot device - aspire V5-572PG

Hi all

im am currently woking on a aspire v5-572PG POPs with a guest of blue that says "no boot device, press a button. When I check the bios hdd0, hdd1 all say there is no hard drive but when I start my windows recovery flash player 8, I see the C: drive and all of its contents from the command prompt. I tried a few guides on the repair of the efi and bcd with no joy. I ran chkdsk c:/x/r, which has detected an error and it fixes but still the same fault. to this im point ideas, suggestions are much appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Yes, it should always appear in the BIOS, regardless the State of the format (assuming it has not failed).
I suggested the Recovery Console (called ASO in Win8) simply because your USB has managed to find.
What I don't understand is why the BIOS is not having reported the HARD drive. You could try reinstalling the HARD disk, just in case you have an intermittent connection.

  • Acer aspire s7-392-9439: lack of default boot device or startup failed.

    Hello
    I bought an Acer aspire s7-392-9439 3 months ago. It has been working fine, until yesterday.
    I turn on the computer and it poped a blue screen with the error: 'lack of default boot device or startup failed'.
    This error reminded me that a message on a bios updated poped over a few days and I have the chance to install it.

    I contacted acer support, I was told that the update of the bios would have avoided this problem. Also, they told me to try things that can help, but unfortunately none of them has:
    1 restore the default bios settings.
    2. change the bios settings: uefi to legacy.
    3 type the Windows key + c when the computer starts.

    When these options do not have they said it is probably a hardware problem and I should send my computer to their repair center.
    My questions are:
    1. If they updated bios would have prevented the problem, how can it be a hardware problem?
    2 - does anyone know how to solve the problem?

    I would appreciate your help,
    Michael

    I had the same problem.  Tried the diskette of starting BACK and did not work.

    Here's how I solved it:

    (apologies to memory are some terms is not on-site)

    1. download the Setup file of the BIOS - link provided above in this thread (isST2212.exe)

    2. on a Windows 8 machine that works - search for 'Create a recovery disk' and run on a USB drive

    3. copy the file #1 to the USB drive once it's done make a recovery disk

    4. in the Acer BIOS (press F2 during startup), change to the method of priming of the legacy

    5 save and exit

    6. turn in the BIOS and move the option USB HDD as first boot device

    7. Save and exit

    8. you will end up in a Windows 8 recovery console

    9. go to Advanced Options - find the option that leads you to the command prompt

    10. from there I went to d: drive and found my file isST2212.exe - run by typing the file name when you are in the folder

    Make sure that you are connected to power - let it run.  It should install, automatic restart and you should be in business.

    I had an Acer offer to fix it for free with a 7-10 day turn around and at the risk of losing all my data.  It's a much better solution!

  • Aspire M5 'Default boot device lack or failed to start.

    Hello and thanks in advance for ANY help you can offer. I have an Aspire M5 that suddenly no longer starts and gives the message "Default boot device boot failure or lack" and claims recovery media to be inserted. I usb recovery media and have also signed up with cloud of Acer. With my recovery media, I tried to refresh and to my PC nothing will do. When I try a system restore is gives me an error and says "you must specify which Windows installation to restore. Restart, select the operating system and then select the system restore". Unfortunately there is no operating system to select when I restart. I am very worried about losing the data on my hard drive, it is more precious than the drive itself. Now I'm checking if somehow my files are backed up on Acer Cloud - is there a way to do this? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated thanks!

    Not good.

    I suspect a failure of HARD drive, the only way to check is to remove your laptop and connect it to another PC with a external HARD drive Bay.

  • Hi, install SSD on Acer Aspire VN7 - 591 G-70RT and setting for the primary boot device?

    Hello

    I have an Acer Aspire VN7 - 591 G-70RT that came with a Western Digital blue 5400 RPM HARD drive which is limitation of my performance of laptops. I contacted Acer recently to ask for upgrades that might be made and they confirmed that I could build an SSD 256 GB and up to 16 GB of ram.

    I bought an SSD now and install, but I wanted to ask how I could continue on the definition of the SSD as my main drive.

    At this point, I guess I could install the SSD, then select it as primary boot device in the BIOS by pressing F2, and then install windows 10 via my USB. If this should be good to reboot or the existence of windows on my current HARD drive causes a conflict?

    Thank you

    I have the device works now and here's what I did.

    WEAR AN ANTI STATIC BAND:

    Step 1) remove all the screws on the underside of the laptop

    Step 2) use spudger or credit GENTLY lift a gap between the keyboard and the base, then use the credit card to slide slowly into the space to jump open clips, NOT FORCE.

    Step 3) (OPTIONAL) remove the keyboard connectors by moving clip and gently remove the cable from the Jack. However the HARD drive slipped in for me without necessary to detach.

    Step 4) unplug original WD HDD blue reversing the clip and disconnect the cable

    Step 5) close laptop together and boot with Windows 10 USB install

    Step 6) install windows on new SSD (for me windows automatically activated via the BIOS/UEFI) if it doesn't happen for you, simply re-attatch the original HARD disk.

    Step 7) if the activation is successful, again set HARD drive and original format. I have kept all the original ACER RECOVERY and Partitions (Healthy) in case I need to restore factory default, but formatted primary partition.

  • Acer aspire switch 10 no boot device

    Hello, I am working on an Acer Aspire Switch 10 2 in 1 (there so no usb port and no cd drive) when I turn it on it flashes Acer logo for a second and then jump to "No boot device" with an image of a hard drive and a magnifying glass. This was not the case before. I could get for the recovery and trying, but it did not work. Now it seems that when I go in the settings of UEFI, boot order options have nothing other than IPV4 and peripheral USB for possible boot options.

    On information in the BIOS, you can find any reference to the members of the SSD?

    If this isn't the case, it is probably a hardware failure.

  • Recovery Aspire V5 - no boot device error disk error

    I tried to recover my Acer Aspire V5 by using the recovery disk I paid only $44.95 for.  When I got to the point where he is said to remove the recovery disc, then press ok to continue, I thought I was in the HomeStretch.  But instead, I got a "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key error."  Can not know what to do.  I have no other disk for this computer.  Thought that this disc receovery was supposed to be a one-stop solution to restore my computer to its state when I bought it.  Any help much appreciated.

    Go to the bios and change the inheritance or uefi boot mode. If it is not.

  • V3-574-309U (aspire V 15) no boot device

    I got my new laptop for 2 days. I use it and it froze and then turns off and now says no boot device. Can someone help me?

    This means that you had a HARD drive crash or HARD disk controller number, so the only way to fix it is to call Acer support service.

  • no boot device after replacing the hard drive

    Hello world!

    My laptop (MSI) has erupted recently in my face (Fried GPU seems).  As I had and liked (Acer laptop) which had a broken hard drive, I have supported up to my datas and replaced the hard drive of Acer (one broken) with that of my MSI (latest laptop)

    When I start the computer I get the message no bootable device: "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any."

    I am not very savvy computer science, but I feel that it is perhaps due to the version of Windows I was using: my Acer running on Windows 7, when my MSI will run on window 8.  Could someone confirm if this has something to do with the startup problem?

    Here's what I managed to do or find on the problem.

    When I go into the BIOS, I changed the order of precedence so that my hard drive is the first priority.

    There is absolutely no USB or SD card in my computer from where he might try to start (unless he's trying to start from an empty?).

    The BIOS is able to tell me the model and I installed the hard disk MSI series so I guess that it is able to detect the hard drive, but can not find startup data in it (that's why I think it's maybe because it isn't the same window).  In addition, the hard drive lights up when I start the computer (and he did it on the MSI laptop too).

    Even if the hard drive seems to be detected, I always tried to unplug and reconnect it a few times to make sure it wasn't just a matter of bad connection.

    On many web sites, they recommend taking any diet and empty any current computer before restarting: unfortunately I can not do because the Acer laptop has a battery that is not easily accessible as newer computer (it cannot be removed from the outside, I need to open the laptop to get it and it is so I can know what it look like and how to remove it)

    My brother managed to recover data from hard disk of MSI with a USB device that plugs on it, so I don't think it's broken.

    The computer is an Acer Aspire 5830TG.  Replaced hard drive is a toshiba MK6459GSXP (works on Windows 7) and the replacement is a WD7500BPVX - 22JC3T0

    I want to apologize if my English contains errors, it is not my mother tongue :)

    Please let me know if you need more information and I thank you for your help!

    Hello

    You cannot move a hard drive with Windows 8 on it from a computer and put it in another machine that were previously running Windows 7 and expect it to work.

    It will not.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And even if it would work physically, legally you cannot transfer the license of Windows 8 of the MSI laptop Acer laptop to your situation:

    Read this information:

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  • Boot camp is no boot device

    Hello community,

    I used to read every forum/discuss before posting, so it's the first time here.

    My config:

    Mac pro 3.1 2008 / Mac osx 10.11 / Boot camp 5 / windows 7 update to windows 10

    I have installed since a year now Bootcamp, windows told me I was able to update windows 10, and they were little good cause I managed to update without any problem, I used windows 10 for a month and have never encounter the difficulties in moving an OS x and windows.

    But yesterday, I needed to format my disk HARD school wich has been used for time machine. Time machine has been disabled for months (because it was full and keeping saying that it was impossible to save) and I needed a free space to use with Windows 10.

    I deleted and format FAT32, this secondary hard drive, so I could not boot into windows, keep showed a black screen with flashing white guest and not any something key.

    If I go to select a restart from a drive, I can choose OS x or bootcamp.

    I can see my partition boot camp on OS X with all data still there, but when I push the button option at the beginning, I have only 2 choices: - Mac OS X - or - restore 10.11 - I don't see my windows startup.

    I tried to download parallels desktop to see if he is able to start my training camp. But parallel shows me "no boot device."

    Can someone help me?
