Remove disks or other media.__Press press any key to restart

Hello

I've seen a few posts on this topic but not have been very useful.

My computer (Dell Inspiron 2200) was relatively slow and I decided to reformat the machine.  After doing that it seems the hard drive was fried in the process that I have been unable to get the machine to boot properly after the reformatting process.  When I ran a diagnostic on the computer, a message was also discussed more leading to believe that this was the case.  This is why I took an old hard drive that I had and tried to use it on the machine.  I created a Windows startup disk by downloading the file and burn a disk.  I changed the order of BIOS to move the CD drive first on the list and the error "remove disks or other media."  " Press any key to restart" continues to be displayed.  Please help me

Thank you

A HD is fried in any reformatting/installation process.

You don't need to create any gain of boot floppies, you just need your convalescence winxp / installation disks to prepare your drive for installation

    You can make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  • Disk error, press any key to restart

    Hello

    In the last week or so when I turn on my computer, it goes through the boot sequence, then just before its loading Windows, I get the following:
    "Disk error".
    Press a key to reboot ".
    Once, I press any button that displays the Windows Logo and Windows starts up.
    Last night I ran a check local disk, and this morning when I woke up it was back to the black screen with the message.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you very much.

    I have a suggestion.

    Buy a new HDD and clone the content across to the new drive using this program...

    http://www.TODO-backup.com/

    If you now, it will be a breeze. Everything will work as before and you will always have your recovery partition.

    If we leave it until the problem gets worse, you may well end up having to run CHKDSK constantly, files, folders and partitions can get corrupted and you will lose access to your recovery partition for good...

  • Pavilion dv6 - 7095ca: no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key


    Thanks for your help and please excuse my bad English.
    Please check item 7, if you're in a hurry. This is the point with my Pavilion DV6 - 7095-CA:

    (1) the operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), the provided original with my 7095CA Pavilion, more updates HP until 2013, and all Windows updates until July 2015.

    (2) now I can't access the operating system and I have no interface UEFI. I can see that I press F2 at startup, just a test simple disk in BIOS f.0Une (the test shows that the disc is OK)

    (3) return in 2013 it took a drive failure. I did replace the disk and reinstall original Win7, all updates, including the HPS, win7 updates and all my personal software.

    (4) at this time, I bought a spare hard drive and did a complete copy of the disc using Partition Wizard bootable cd. The second disc has been tested and worked perfectly, with all of my personal software on this subject.

    So I have 2 HDs identical with the same system on both drives, fully working and tested.

    (5) a few days ago I came across the HP website and made a few updates, including the BIOS f.0Une (the last BIOS update, was of course).

    (6) after BIOS update ran, I received the message "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

    (7) I couldn't solve the problem, so I did remove the hard drive and install my backup drive, which lay in a dry place without danger from 2013.

    (8) I turned on the computer and got the same message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key", and I couldn't find any way to solve this problem.

    Now I'm doing a new installation on a third HD everything works very well, so far, in the new facility and I will never buy HP again.

  • Nonsystem disk, press any key

    When I turn on the laptop, he said Non-disque non-system, press any key. So I press a button and it says MBR error 1 press any key to boot from floppy.

    I can't find my restore CD. I installed on my laptop of Acronis but do not know if this will help.

    Please help me.

    Hello

    First of all I would like to know what model phone you have and what Windows system do you use?

    Regarding the question:
    It seems that you have a master boot record error. This means that preinstalled system is too bad and therefore he cannot be started
    It is possible that the partition on the HARD drive is confusing upward too

    But the fact is that you have need of a system disk or recovery in the repair of the order or to install the system again without these drives, you wouldn't be able to get the laptop running using Microsoft Windows disk, you can try to repair the MBR.

    But the Toshiba Recovery cannot be used to repair the system, you can use the recovery disk to reinstall the image

    Hello

    My laptop froze this morning and so I stopped it when restarting it however, I received the message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key", what it means?

    I didn't not get discs with the laptop, or have I made the recovery discs. The instruction manual says to press f8 when I restart and go to "menu of advanced start", but it doesn't matter. Where should I go from here, is there a program I can download that would have this disc? All my work on the computer will be lost?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hello

    He looks at the HARD drive died and so the laptop can not boot from the HARD drive but request disk bootable.
    But to be sure, you need to access the BIOS (press F2) and check if the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS.
    If it s not recognized, then you need a new HARD drive.

    The recovery disc can be ordered here:

    Hello

    Seems that the laptop can not find the bootable source.
    This means that the HARD drive is malfunctioning or the boot sector is defective.

    By the way; have you tried to change the boot order in the BIOS?

  • G72 Pavilion. : no boot device. Insert the disk and press any key

    Hello

    If you find your recovery DVD, you can use them to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - this is described in the document of HP here.

    If you do not, you can order a replacement set by starting at the link below-, the cost can vary a bit depending on where you live, but they are generally inexpensive.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    If you have a problem with this link, try to order them directly from HP.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  • I screwed up trying to install windows on my computer 10 and I XE off installer and now its says "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

    I was just trying to download 10 on my computer windows using boot camp assistant. I answered the questions for windows when you need to respond as what kind of language you use and then I messed up on one of the questions. I didn't know how to go back so I just pressed the red x. When I did that he must get off my computer and when it's done I got a black screen and then it says "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" I don't know what he meant by no bootable disk and I was hoping that you guys can help me fix.

    If stop you your Mac and your power it back up and hold down the Alt/Option key, you see a Windows selection? If so try to select and see if the installation will continue.

  • No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key

    Hello

    I was with boot camp to install 10 Windows from a usb key. The first problem I encountered was an error message stating that Windows supports software could not be downloaded on my flash drive. I read that the necessary drivers could be installed later so I unchecked the box. The part of the installation, then training camp as it should (create a partition etc.)

    However, when the Mac went to restart and (probably) to start the program installation of Windows, the error message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" displayed. My problem is the wireless keyboard does not respond and the light on this issue seems to suggest that it is not connected. My guess is that the drivers needed, such as Bluetooth are not there.

    I'd be happy enough to restart OS x and forget all about Windows, but I can't see how to get around this problem?

    A wired keyboard could work?

    any help is appreciated!

    Thanks in advance

    Max.

    A wired keyboard and mouse will work. If you try to install Windows and tried to download the Windows software on a wireless network, try a wired connection. to rebuild your USB Installer.

  • Non-system disk press any key to continue

    About 3 or 4 times a week, my screen is black and says "press any key to nonsystem disk continues." When I press a key, the same sentence is repeated. And he repeats as many times as I press a key.

    I don't know why it does this or what it means or how to fix it. Ideas? thoughts? suggestions?

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and make sure that the boot order is for the HD player to be 1st in the boot order.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    You can have Boot USB active 1st in the boot order.

    See you soon.
