no bootable device detected-

I installed winxp pro in a partition boot camp boot fine in boot camp and is fully operational. I then installed VM Fusion 2.0. When fusion displays the virtual machine library window, it shows the boot camp partition.

I then select the and he starts trying to initialize windows only to stop and give me the message "no boot device found" but it is there and it is bootable as I already started it in boot camp. I've tried everything.

Can someone please help?

For all those reading this thread, it was a partition of Boot Camp VM Fusion 1.x that once upgraded to Fusion 2 would be start is longer and the solution took the existing Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine thus allowing the merger to recreate.  He then started and upgraded VMware Tools and Windows wanted to be reactivated within 3 days as well.

    Hello

    This error message appears because the BIOS didn't not find a bootable device containing an operating system.

    What of the HARD drive? Is it recognized by the BIOS?
    Check in the BIOS settings; Press ESC and F1 to access the BIOS.
    There, you should check if the HARD drive (all details of the HARD drive should appear) is recognized.
    If this isn't the case, then it means that your HARD drive is dead and so you cannot boot from the HARD drive.

  • HP-ENVY-23-d200: error no bootable floppy detected or could not start.

    Hello, I would be very happy to help of the computer. (I'm not all that tech savvy) even if I know a little.

    I have a HP Envy (all in one computer)

    Here is a link http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-ENVY-23-d200-TouchSmart-All-in-One-Desktop-PC-series/5359011/...

    A few days ago, I noticed a few severe freezing. But I could still on my moms on the computer account. It happened because I had turned off the so-called "WMI provider host" I disabled it because he gave me a super high CPU usage. I also read that it was good to disable. But after that, I wasn't able to get into the account admin without her panic. Finally I had refreshed the computer which helped a lot.

    BUT after I had updated to 8.1 (which I have before) I STILL severe freezing. In my attempts to get that to stop, I have completed the tasks that I knew wouldn't freak out my computer. Finally I got fed up with it and tried to factory restore it. BUT during this attempt, my computer freaked out and never finished than restoring plant. He said then that the partition to restore disappeared? After all, I am finally back in the computer said it was fine, and nothing has changed. In order to be smart (for once), I moved everything I had on my external hard drive computer. I also went on the link above looking for updates of pilot thinking that the freezing issue had something to do with it. Had all these installs fact rebooted my computer to receive this error message on ipv4 (ipv6) pxe boot which had not my computer says "error no bootable floppy detected or could not start.»

    I then searched a solution for the PXE on error. Finally got in the bios and that oppresses. Saved and put off the computer. To my surprise the error went away but not only no bootable floppy detected or could not start.

    Then I went to diagonstics and everything seems to work very well. But my question is "is my hard drive of the computer by train to die?" (I have a deep feeling that is close to death) But not so sure, if the hard drive is not the problem. I was going to just to install a new OS which probably will Windows 10 because I don't have money to buy windows 8.1.

    I thank you very much in advance for reading and assistance!

    Mariam, welcome to the forum.

    Yes, I think that your hard drive is dying. R.I.P.  Here is a guide to help you test using S.M.A.R.T. of the BIOS.  You can enter the BIOS by pressing F10 when the computer starts to boot.

  • no bootable devices found

    Hi guys, I have a laptop malfunction on the no bootable devices found. I use acer 3810 t sucks. It was working just fine last night, but it is a malfunction of this morning.

    Looks like you have verified that the hard drive is dead!

    You can buy a new hard drive in a local store, PC or even online, like Amazon, among others. Opt for a similar or greater size than i ' existing. The size is noted in the UK, for example, 250GB, 500GB etc.

    Hard drive bracket is very simple as you may have noticed. You need to remove the caddy with the screw on the side of the old hard drive. Take the old, enters the new then put back inside your laptop. Once mounted, you need to reinstall WIndows from your recovery disks. If you do neither, they may be available for purchase from the Acer support for your region.

    Once completed, you will need to install Windows, your Anti virus updates and other programs, then all the documents you have saved.

  • No Audio device detected received after upgrade to Vista message

    NO AUDIO DEVICE NOT DETECTED - UPGRADE WINDOWS XP TO WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE

    Recently, I switched from Windows XP to Windows Vista Ultimate, and now I have no sound. No audio output device detected. I tried the driver far from Device Manager, still nothing. Driver not installed, rebooted and no change. I was told I need a bus class driver Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio of Microsoft, but all I can find are those for Windows 7 and XP. What can I do to fix this

    Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your computer laptop/computer/Sound card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Audio from Vista drivers > download/install them.

    If Vista Sound Drivers for your Audio hardware are not written, cannot do anything about it.

  • 7140 "no bootable device not found" after BIOS update

    Just ran the update of the BIOS on my 7140 and my system does not start.  When starting, it immediately presents "no bootable device found" and some options to retry/configuration/diag.  I ran diagnostics and 'Hard Drive 0-0-0' line tests OK.

    I'm guessing that the Secure Boot is messed up.  Can someone tell me what should be the default settings?  Is there a personal touch and should be set?

    My tablet is running I'll share what I did in case others get hit by him.  I went into the BIOS and verified Secure Boot and it's been activated, although apparently it was not activated "actually".  I disabled and enabled the boot Rom Legacy and rebooted.  The machine is in how recovery mode I could have deciphered the entire disk (not secure boot manufacturing necessary), but I decided to not go down that road right now.  (FYI - if you have registered your device with your real account, your decryption key can be found there.)  I know people have privacy on this matter, but it could really help in a pinch like that).

    I closed this and went back into the BIOS setup.  I unchecked Legacy ROM and then turned back on Secure Boot.  Apply, exit, restart.  Started upward and works.  I have several other concerns since the updates that came out yesterday, but I'm going to start new threads for those.

  • No bootable devices strike f1 to retry boot, f2 for Setup utility, press f5 to run onboard diagnostics

    I know that many people have posted a thread with this type of problem, but none of them doesn't seem to be exactly like mine. I have a Dell inspiron e1405. I bought probably a year and a half. It works very well almost all the time I got it. The other day I was using it and everything was fine and I shut down normally and the next morning I go to turn it on and I get a black screen with the words 'no bootable devices strike f1 to retry boot, f2 for Setup utility, press f5 to run onboard diagnostics' displayed at the top of the screen. I ran diagnostics and it said I had no recognizable hard drive. I ran the vista installation disk and tried to fix it and it wouldn't work. He said there is no disc to repair. I went to just install windows again, hoping he will fix everything that was wrong with my hard drive. When he went to install it says that there is no disc in windows partition. I tried reinstalling the hard disk and no chance. It is reasonable to assume that my hard drive is fried, or is there anything else I could do to try to fix?

    Help, please

    If you go into the BIOS see the drive listed?  If the list... it could well be the MBR corruption.  Good luck!

    Hi faignard,

    Thanks for the reply. It is regrettable that uninstall the existing mouse device manager drivers did not help to solve the problem.

    I suggest that you go to the program and features under programs installed and check if there are any associated with IntelliPoint software or any software application related to the mouse installed. In the affirmative, please go ahead and uninstall them and then try to install the driver software IntelliPoint 8.2 in compatibility mode as stated in my previous post dated 22 December 2014.

  • Impossible to start only on the desktop, bootable device error - please restart

    Original title: windows startup problems 8

    I have a Toshiba satellite laptop that came from the factory with windows 8.  I just can't get started.    It stops at the toshiba leading innovation which is the first screen after power to the screen on.  the function keys that product screen blank screen except at the top where a line doesn't read bootable device - please reboot of the system, which can do to solve this problem

    Hi Ericmadison,

    This problem may occur if your hard drive is not set as your first boot or because of defective hard drive device.

    What is the exact full model of your PC Toshiba satellite laptop?

    Make sure that your hard drive is set us your first boot in the BIOS device. See your manual for your Toshiba satellite computer to check the key to enter the BIOS. Once you get into the BIOS, check if your hard drive is selected as the first boot device.

    Warning of the BIOS: BIOS change / 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.

    If the hard disk is already selected as first boot device, I suggest you to run the check disk from the Windows recovery environment using the installation media. CHKDSK (Chkdsk.exe) is a command-line tool that checks volumes on your hard disk for problems. The tool will attempt to repair problems it encounters. For example, Chkdsk can repair problems related to bad sectors, lost clusters, reticulate files and directory errors.

    As Windows came pre-installed, try to create an installation of Windows 8 media (DVD/USB). Check out the following link.

    How to create an installation media for a PC refresh or reset

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

    Try to go to BIOS option to change the priority of boot on CD/DVD (first boot device). See your manual for your Toshiba satellite computer to check the key to enter the BIOS.

    Once you change the boot priority, follow the steps mentioned below.

    Check the drive of the Windows recovery environment (RE Win) and check. Follow these steps:

    1. Insert the Windows 8 (DVD/USB) installation media, and then restart the computer.
    2. Hit F12 key (usually it's F12, but it may differ between computer manufacturers) and choose the drive in which you inserted into the installation media.
    3. Once the Windows Setup window appears, follow these steps:
    4. Then drag and select repair your computer.
    5. You will then see a blue screen and an option to choose.
    6. Choose the Troubleshooting option and select Advanced options.
    7. Select prompt to start the Advanced startup option.
    8. Computer will restart automatically.
    9. Once restarted, choose an account with administrative privileges.
    10. In the next screen, enter the appropriate password and press the button continue to access command prompt.
    11. In the command prompt window, type the following command:

    CHKDSK /F /R

    12. Once complete, restart the computer and check.

    Important: the data available on bad sectors may be lost when chkdsk attempts to repair your hard drive.
