• HP Pavilion A6722SC: reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

  My computer has just stopped working and when I turned it on, it says I should change my hard drive. I did, but now the message is whenever I turn on my computer: reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.

  I have Hp Pavilion A6722SC. I have my 1st drive on the driver that I bought and I have the Boot Device Priority :

  1st boot Device [hard disk group]

  2 St boot Device [CD-ROM Group]

  3rd boot device [network startup group]

  4 rd boot Device [group Floppy]

  -> Disk Boot Priority group [not installed]

  -> Group of CD-ROM boot Priority [DSK02...]

  -> Group of HDD to boot Priority [DSK00...]

  -> Group network boot priority [not installed]

  I saw that many said I should disable the floppy, or I should have hard on the boot device 1 or driver, but this doesn't work for me. Someone who have solved problems of this kind? I need help!

  Thanks in advance.

• Why Microsoft Virtual PC comes with Reboot and select proper boot device?

  Hello

  When that I start Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 it comes up with the following error message:

  Reboot and select proper boot device

  or insertion of the in the selected boot device bootable media

  How can I fix it?

  I am running Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit.

  Any help?

  You have installed an operating system on the virtual device?
  You have created a virtual machine. When you start it, it will try to start.
  There is nothing on the virtual drive so that the system asks to find a bootable floppy
  disk or CD/DVD.

  If you still need help, you can post in the Microsoft Virtualization forum listed below:

• "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media" tried, still does not.

  I went into the BIOS and changed the order of Boot Drive so that the hard drive comes first as a boot priority, and nothing happened. I always get the reboot and select proper boot device error. My power supply broken so I took an old and put this one rather than broken, but I might miss some cable? I don't know because I'm not good with computers. So if you can help me please, I would be grateful. Thank you.

• 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.

• Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

  I have an Asus UX31 of Zenbook ultrabook. It is running Windows 8, I installed it via download, is not a physical disk.

  Recently, I ran Windows Update and he knew as usual, until the time of reset. It restarts, showed on the screen "install updates", but then finally started only the following error message:

  "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.

  As mentioned, I don't have a disc, my ultrabook is not a hard drive. Internal storage only that there is a 128 GB SSD. I went into the bios and check the boot settings and the SSD is correctly listed as the only option to start.

  I can only assume some question that's happened with the update of windows. I'm not sure of how to proceed now? ATM, I only have a weight £1000 :/

  Hello r,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  By the description of the problem, I understand that you have problems starting from the computer to the desktop screen, it gives the above error message.

  I imagine how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. I appreciate your efforts to solve this problem.

  As this problem occurred after installing Windows Update, this could be the reason for the incompatible driver installed with the Windows updates.

  As you have already checked the settings for starting a disc SSD set correctly, I suggest you disconnect all the external device and restart the computer, check if are able to boot to the desktop screen.

  We will try the following methods and check if it helps.

  Create an installation media for Windows 8.1
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

  Method 2: Once you create USB recovery media, auto repair:

  Follow the steps below to perform an automatic repair:

  1 restart the computer, wait for the logo of the manufacturer to check the option of start menu, it will usually F12.
  2. the start menu key can be different with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the start menu button, you can consult the user manual.
  3. restart the computer, when appears the logo of the manufacturer, continue to press the Boot option menu key to enter the boot menu and change the option to boot in DVD ROM.
  4. Once you start your computer by using Windows 8 DVD or system repair disc, a black screen appears with the gray text "press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.

• PC freeze/crash followed a "Reboot and select proper boot device."

  We have 11 PC running on a local area network, all currently running Windows 7 Professional. The following happened in recent weeks, on 4 of our PC 11:

  PC freezes completely, however, the mouse cursor will always pass normally, clicking on anything don't generate a result, or will be by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE. My first step in the fight against that had to leave the PC alone for 5-10 minutes to see if the problem resolved itself. After about 5 minutes, the PC will be closed on its own and try to reset, prompting the message:

  "Reboot and select good boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected boot device and press a key.

  When you press a key, the message again and again. The only solution I've found that this was a closed hard, leaving it for a minute and restarting, how everything seems fine.

  I'm suspicious that this may happen again, or on the PC so far unaffected, if someone could advise on what could be the cause, or how to stop from happening, I would be grateful.

  How old are the hard drives on those computers?  Is it possible that they have lack of hard drives?

  Download and run the software tester of the drive by the hard drive manufacturer to test the equipment.  Tell us the model numbers (Device Manager), readers and we'll give you links to get the correct software.

• Satellite C50-B-13N - error "Reboot and select good boot device."

  Hi all

  My laptop recently bought C50-B-13N moving 39 updates yesterday, when it crashed.

  Get back with me stuck in a loop continuous. After what seemed like the logical approach to reset to factory settings, I have
  seem to have accidentally deleted the data on the disk.

  I have now repeatedly received the error message "Reboot and select proper boot device."

  I tried the F12 approach to , but my Start Menu does not have this option.

  I'm frustrated that the new laptop played if bad, given that I have had Toshiba devices for about 10 years.
  In addition, I am disappointed that potentially serious consequences to remove the drive were clearly deprecated for me, before you start.

  Please give us a solution.
  The laptop is 4 months old.

  In addition, how can I start the process of an application under my warranty?
  A dissatisfied customer of experience to date.

  Kind regards

  I seem to have accidentally deleted the data on the disk.

  Obviously the HARD drive recovery procedure is not possible now because the HARD drive recovery files have been deleted.

  I guess you have not created such recovery media as recommended in the user's manual.

  Well, in this case, you have a chance to order a missing middle of recovery and recover the laptop to factory condition.

• Reboot and select good Boot Device problem - my PC does not start!

  Hi all

  Whenever I turn on my computer I get the message "Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected boot device and press a key.

  I checked the diagonistics material and these are the results:

  Test CPU-

  Hard drive: failure of the connection Test - Error Code: BIOHD1

  Memory - past

  I don't think that the issue is a faulty connection. My reason to believe so because I think that I had a virus on my computer (I was not able to confirm) I tried to delete the last time I was able to use the computer. Then I turned off the computer to restart, but unfortunately, that's when I got this error message.

  I had this problem once before (about 3 years ago) and I was not able to solve this problem, so I just stopped using the PC. Then one day my Dad turned on the computer (a few months later) and it worked all of a sudden.

  Anyone know what this problem is? How can I solve this problem?

  Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you very much for your time and effort!

  Additional information:

  It was originally a windows 7 PC, but I have upgraded to windows 10, which is the current operating system.

  Product: HP p6620f

  I managed to start my PC again.

  I have unplugged all connections and left it that way for about 24 hours. Then I plugged everything back in and all of a sudden the PC worked again. I don't know if it will last, but right now it works.

  I'll write another post if something changes.

• Satellite C660: message: reboots and select good boot device

  Hello

  I dropped the laptop today literally a few inches from the ground, it slipped from my hand as I was placing it on the ground. He fell flat.

  Now I see the message "reboot and select proper boot device."

  I tried a few different options that I read, and I see the HARD drive in the BIOS F2 thing or whatever it is called. If it is recognized, but I can't seem to move in the message. Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance.

  PS I will need clear instructions, I'm not stupid, but I need to explain. I don't understand some of the pieces.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think that your HARD drive is bad.
  I think that you have not checked it correctly in the BIOS.

  Please go to BIOS once more, by pressing F2.
  Now on the first page, you will see date, time, details of CD/DVD drive and you should also see the details of the disk (size, name)
  You see that?

  Otherwise, the HARD disk is not initialized by the BIOS and this means that, because of the fall, the HARD disk has been damaged.
