No boot device available on a desktop XPS720.

I am running windows 7. I changed the motherboard battery and it rises: no available boot device. I did diagnostics on the 0 and 1 Sata drives. They have passed the tests. It goes, however, the post screen and it appears. No. boot device available strike F1 to retry boot, configuration utility F2for. The boot sequence is as follows: 1. SATA hard drive on board.  Onboard or USB Floppy drive (absent) hard drive PATA onboard 2 (absent). Onboard or CD-ROM USB drive controller integrated network 3 (absent). Peripheral USB add-in hard drive (not present) the floppy drive is set to internal

Restart, and then press F2 to open the BIOS Setup. Find and disable the floppy drive controller. (It may be called "Player A" controller, controller of "Floppy drive"...) Be sure to save changes before exiting the Setup program.

TIP: next time you intend to change the battery in the motherboard, copy down all the parameters of the BIOS (work) current first and so you can quickly define everything correctly afterwards.

  • my laptop can not get the boot device

    When I turn on my old laptop, it goes to bios and saying: no boot device available strike f1 to not to retry boot, f2 configuration utility, no other options. all get any idea for this problem thx allllllllllllllllll

    Hi isaaq,.

    It may be a loose cable connection or the drive may have failed.

    Since it is a laptop, the support option are limited.

    Depending on the age of the PC, you can contact the manufacturer to see if there is a diagnostic program.

    According to the OEM, your recovery disc can have a method of repair installation if it is not hardware fault.

    Hi, LT.

    I suggest you go into the BIOS and change the boot device of whatever it is (it looks like floppy drive) on the hard disk in the list of bootable devices.

    You will need to read the manual that came with the PC for additional instructions.

  • PowerEdge 2500 - no available boot device

    I'm trying to revive an old Poweredge 2500 that starts up with the error: no available boot device, press F1 to retry or F2 to enter Setup utility

    I have 3 drives on the SCSI channel Hot and also have a CD ROM on this channel too

    I set the boot sequence to boot to CD Rom first, so that I can maybe just install Windows Server 2008 and get things up and running

    But it is not booting to CD ROM. its just commissioning and turning the device No. Bot available

    Is this dead or can I revive somehow? Thank you

    Server 2008 DVDS only and I doubt that any 2500's never delivered with DVD players.  You should be able to boot from a CD of 2003.

    Is there a BONE here, you want to fix it?  If so, do you have RAID (PERC 3/Di) activated in a RAID 1 or RAID 5?

  • No available boot device?

    Unlike so many others on this site, after you receive the message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key", I don't then enter my mac no matter what buttons I press. I have a macbook air 11 inches, but I do not know the details because of this problem. If a boot disk is a physical disk, then I don't have a hard drive! What should I do? I literally have an essay due in the next few days, and it's on my laptop! If I can't open windows more, is well, because at this point, I want to just my mac back. Please help me, I'm desperate!

    You should be able to boot OSX by holding down the alt/option directly key after hearing the startup sound (the "bang... »). Keep holding it until you see the disks that you can start with. One of them should be the Macintosh HD disk that contains your OSX installation. Select that drive and press ENTER. Then, your mac should start to OSX. Good luck!

  • How do I repair: windows7 error reboot and select proper boot device?

    My computer is about 2 years old.  Sound works just fine.  One morning, I started it up and a black screen came with: reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.  Any key you hit it just kept announces the same message, I had to tough out.  As long as I start the computer with Del, F8 or F10, I can get the computer to boot. No matter what I change, it works for a few times then goes back to the same error.  Also it will not always wake up after he falls asleep.  I tried to do a repair of systems, but it does not work

    Hello

    1 do you have made no changes to software before this problem?

    2. you have the Windows 7 installation disc?

    3. what changes did you and have you been able to boot to the desktop after that?

    Method 1:

     

    I also suggest you to try the other options of WINRE (Windows Recovery Environment) and check.

    What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7

    Method 2:

    I also suggest you to check the drive for errors that it can cause a Windows to boot.

    Follow this step to do the same thing:

    1. Click Start
    2. Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD-> click on "Run as Administrator"
    3. At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

    Check a drive for errors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

    The issue can also occur if the boot device is not correctly defined in the BIOS. Make sure that the hard drive where Windows is installed is selected as first boot device.

    Note: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • 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."
