Windows XPS 8700 8.1 "don't no boot device found" H E L P

Hi all

I'm sorry if I put this in the wrong forum, I'm new to this,

So, today, I tried to install 3 t seagate expansion hard drive my brother... with no luck. I read to remove the quick start, so I restarted my computer and got a black screen saying no bootable disk is found. I tried to hit F1 several times, without success, then tried the options in F2 start setting reset does nothing... I also tried F12 diagnosis and she finds nothing wrong. When I bought this computer I had not given a boot CD and I regret ever making one now. Is there anything that can help me find my files? I have a lot of music (mine) and photos (also my own) I'd like back.

igotproblems

Just a. I ran an ePSA last night and everything checked OK. This morning I had a friend get a boot flash drive and ran it... but it tells me that the disk where windows is installed is locked.

Now I don't really know what to do.

Watch this clip: the drive where windows is installed is locked

  • Only brand new XPS 13 no boot device found

    Hello, I just received my brand new 13 XPS in the mail today, when I opened and turned it top read "no found boot device, press a key to restart your computer."  After several attempts to reboot and also starting for other boot on the portable devices (' Windows manager and partition itself "none of them have solved the problem.)  From what I understand this, is this a problem with the hardware with the SSD on the laptop? Or is there something I can do which will fix this problem?

    Check to make sure that it is in mode UEFI and secure startup is enabled.  If both are set, yes - the ssd is likely bad.  Send the replacement system - it is absolutely useless to have a whole new system of DOA torn apart for repair.

  • Windows XPS computer laptop who don't return of touchscreen will switch to use the keyboard as a normal laptop.

    I have a laptop XPS windows on Windows 8 with a touch screen, I have two problems.

  • XPS 8700 RAM upgrade - do not use full capacity

    I decided to get max out my RAM on my XPS 8700 to 32 GB. After booting, I am only using one half of the total. I checked the system settings to see if there is something that needs to be defined, but I don't see anything that will help.

    Is there a material DIM switch or something of RAM is correctly adjusted? I looked in the user guide but cannot see how to swap the RAM modules.

    If you have windows 7 home, your authorized max is memory 16 GB.  If you have Pro, you can go up to 192 GB.  Windows 8 and higher increased the memory limit.

    If it does not, you may have some bad RAM.

  • Please help trouble Code 43 error graphics card for XPS 8700 (as well as the disappearance of sleep/Standby Mode) (Windows 10)

    I got my XPS in 2014 and my warranty of service completed in 2015 Jan before I installed Windows 10. So since I've upgraded to Windows 10 I started having problems with by XPS 8700. Now, I have no guarantee. I thought he would go better once they have released an update of the BIOS and it did for a while unfortunately in recent months, I noticed two major issues.

    (1) upon the starting and restarting my computer, my monitor does not end up receiving the signal from the computer and remains dark.

    -Checking that it is not a problem with the monitor by testing with other computers

    -J' checked in the Device Manager and there was a next yellow alert for graphic cards / NVIDIA GeForce GT 635

    -By clicking on, he showed me this: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

    Unfortunately, it is not the only problem with the graphics card.

    (2) "sleep" my mode is gone (it is related to graphics and BIOS).

    -J' tried the go in power to add setting but it was not yet listed.

    -I went to the command prompt and looked powercfg.exe that's what I discovered:

    C:\Windows\System32>Powercfg - a

Also, I would if I could have the option to upgrade my PC to sleep. I really miss it and do not have to constantly reboot my computer to be able to see anything on the monitor.

This computer is only 2 years old, it didn't need to be retired.

  • Windows 8.1 does not appear in the store Windows Dell XPS 8700

    My desktop computer Dell XPS 8700 arrived yesterday, but I can't upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 of Windows. I went to several Microsoft Web sites where they say on a Windows update and I have to have before the upgrade is displayed in the Microsoft store. I checked I did all Windows updates available including
    you need to upgrade to 8.1. I tried "wsreset.exe" running to clear the cache of Windows store. This is not a business system. It's a regular OEM Dell version of Windows 8 that came with the machine. No matter what I do the update does not appear in the Windows store. I thought maybe since I was using the same Microsoft account for my laptop I already upgraded 8 to 8.1 that maybe he thought I was already updated. So I created a new account of Microsoft, created a new user, delete the old user and tried to get the upgrade as a Microsoft account fresh and a user. Still no luck. I saw another person posting a message on a forum somewhere that had a similar problem on this exact model as the only answer that I was to go to the Microsoft page that tells you to do what I've done. Any suggestions or websites where I could crosspost this problem would be much appreciated.

    I copied and pasted the steps below from another thread. The procedure worked for me both my 8700 s after that I had tried just about every other proposed solutions. I hope that the procedure will work for you too (assuming that you have not already tried).

    (1) uninstall KB2871389 and restart.

    (2) download the update of Microsoft KB2871389--> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40098

    (3) manually install the KB2871389 update and reboot.

    (4) you must now (I hope) see the 8.1 update in the Windows store.

  • Dell XPS 8700 - failure of the keyboard when the bios boot (but not when Windows is loaded)

    My Dell XPS 8700 has 10 Windows and a Logitech Keyboard wireless, connected by USB. The keyboard works absolutely fine when Windows has loaded. I have the latest version of the bios, A11.

    However, when the computer is turned on and starts the bios start, it displays 'Keyboard Failure' on the screen for about half a second. When I try to go into the bios setup by pressing "F2" at the counter (I keep typing "F2" from the moment when I press the power button on the computer), there is no answer. The "keyboard failure" and inability to enter the bios setup seems to happen if I do a cold immediately after a stop start, a cold start after the computer is turned off for an extended period or a reboot.

    I tried to connect the wired keyboard original Dell one of the USB ports on the front of the unit (without disconnecting the wireless keyboard) with the same problem at the start of the bios.

    I encountered this problem on versions of bios A11 both A03. I know that in the past, although I don't remember when - I was able to enter the bios setup by pressing "F2".

    Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?

    You can try and reset the CMOS. It will return your settings to factory settings, but not the version. Usually, this erases these problems because CMOS stores data editable such as your wireless keyboard settings. BIOS stores the information about the basic material that is unchangable as your keyboard usb, mouse and other essential equipment. If you notice, when you just plugin any keyboard and mouse, its recognized at startup. Your needs software to run wireless device and that is stored in the CMOS.

    So once reset you the CMOS, you may need to then install the wireless software.

    Good luck.

  • Dell XPS 8700 - secondary SATA Hard Drives don't appear not

    I tried to install two additional hard drives on my new XPS 8700. The machine came with the primary drive connected to the SATA 0 and the DVD drive connected to the SATA 1. When I installed two additional hard drives, I put in the SATA 2 & 3 ports. Hard drives appeared in Windows (8.1), nor in the BIOS. I played a bit with ports SATA 2 & 4 and 3 & 4. Hard drives are not recognized. When I looked in disk management, they weren't there. As a last resort, I unplugged the DVD player SATA cable and plugged the cable on one of the secondary hard drives (which was then attached to the SATA 1 port) to connect the DVD player to the SATA 2 this drive cable port. When I started my computer, all drives have become visible. I don't know why. SATA cables I used comes from a 5 year old computer (like hard drives). Was it a problem with the cables, or is it a problem of SATA port? The first disc hard school should go in port SATA 1?

    I searched the forum and couldn't find a similar problem (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19520798.aspx). Eventually, the person back to his computer.

    alexsyseng,

    for the most part, you are right. I had this same problem as well, but I already had the a06 bios. the problem is with the uefi bios feature. its ment to be safer, but causes problems when adding disks. I tried your suggestion to change the secure boot options, but it does not work for me. I found the solution by chance when I went from uefi boot inherited so that I could use my cd discpart of secure erase my ssd.

    so here's the solution, whenever you add a drive, you will pass the bios in legacy mode, then return to the uefi mode. If your computer came with windows 8 then more than likely your bios is set to uefi. When you switch the bios the legacy of your desire to computer error and you say that he has not found any what boot drives. No worries, switch to that return to uefi, reboot and now your system will start properly and all your disks will be visible in the windows and disk management. no need to replace your motherboard. Unfortunately, I spent two hours with tech support and they didn't know that either.

  • XPS 8700 - Windows 8 w / Intel Smart Response Technology re - install

    Hello community,

    My hard drive in my XPS 8700 failed recently. I got a replacement and have installed the new drive in the chassis. It's the only drive (2 TB), but I also (30 GB) SSDS for Intel Smart Response Technology.

  • Dell XPS 8700 - How to install Windows XP on it

    Hello

    I have read on this forum that it was possible to install Win XP on XPS 8500 and wanted Trailblazers thanks!

    I was wondering if someone has even tried to install XP on the 8700?

    I should receive my XPS 8700 with Win 7 Premium on this topic next week?

    I then unplug the original HD and try to install XP on one of my free SATA 3 SSD.

    Also, very probably I will change the video card for another model with a compatible driver that I used for a few years in another i7 PC (I have a spare card).

    The early problem would be drivers, in particular drivers Ethernet/LAN

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Please note that I prefer (in spite of having a legal copy for Win 7 and Win 8 Pro lying around) Win XP for my typical usage.* *.

    Thank you

    XPSTester

    I got the PC.

    Step 1: Unit under test and recovery CD made.

    Step 2: BIOS Mode changed SATA AHCI RAID Mode changed.

    Step 3: Air conditioner stops. HARD drive disconnected original. SSD connected instead.

    Step 4: Windows XP is installed from the CDROM. PC works fine, super fast.

    Step 5: Realtek Ethernet controller installed (see the link above, thanks again Sandeep! :-).) Surf the Internet, it is now possible and, therefore, all the rest. The most important step accomplished :-).

    Step 6: Install my own ATI video card and drivers Realtek Audio & HDMI. Playing music and video on an HDTV in Mode Extended accomplished!

    I got 5 points at issue in Device Manager after installing Win XP.

    3 of them have been solved by various software to Intel.

    2 of those remaining are related to Wireless & Bluetooth.

    This is the best I could do at the moment... :-)

  • Dell XPS 8700 Windows 10 questions with SD card reader

    Hi, I bought a new Dell XPS 8700 three months ago.  It comes with Windows 8, even if I asked for preinstalled Win10.  The Win10 upgrade process was fairly straightforward.  However so far three times the SD card reader stopped working.  I fix it by reinstalling the drivers.  Its not working again and my USB stopped working also.  Is there a background process that interferes with USB / SD card drivers?  Anyone else noticed this behavior.

    Rgds Frank

    You can try this:

    Go into Device Manager, and then double-click the entry for your SD card reader. Assuming that he has one, click on the power management tab, and uncheck the box 'allow the PC turns off... ». Now, do the same thing in Manager of devices for all your USB root hubs.

    Then go to the options screen to win 10 powers, click on advanced settings and turn off hybrid sleep. Reboot and see if that helps.

  • XPS 8700 Windows 7 64 card reader disappears!

    Often ill put a SD or CF card into the internal card reader and it disappears from my computer and Device Manager.  No just went wrong! The only way to recover is system sleep and power cord to "unplug". Works for 2 or 3 times and the same thing happens. Dell tried a few software and settings of bugs but that did not work. Then the sent me a new media card reader but same thing happens. Now, they want to replace motherboard and power supply, but I doubt that a is too. Any help or ideas would be great.

    Yes, a very common problem with my XPS 8700. Has been through a lot of readers of cards, motherboards, etc.

    (1) make sure you eject the card reader in the computer drives; the old 'My Computer'. Yes, of course, it's elementary, but several times I just grabbed the first card reader. It applies to remove it from your camera. Don't forget that the camera is turned off before removing.

    2) the "fix"

    It can be irritating, but it you have to remove the side panel and pull the wire connecting the card reader to the motherboard to the wide where it attaches to the motherboard. Then just reconnect and the card reader drives will reappear.

    Technically you should do with the machine power off and unplugged power cord, but I use one of these long slender beak pliers to reach in and get a firm grip on the connector. Just a quick pull and a quick replacement. I would look at the readers to return what they have always done for me. I don't know if it is successful with the machine off. You must be very spastic to not be able to disconnect and reconnect the small connector without touching anything else. A light is useful depending on the ambient light.

    Personally, my CPU is just off the right side of my office, so I always leave the left in Panel enough air flow, but it is certainly easy enough to remove.

    It is difficult to say how long it will last. Finally, it will fail again may 20 all-purpose or more, but I keep the needle forceps nearby. A 2 minute job.

    Good luck!
