How to Fix No Bootable Device Not Found

How to Fix No Bootable Device Not Found
Today we will take a look at how to troubleshoot and fix no bootable device found. There are many reasons for boot device not found and we will do step by step to diagnose no bootable device.
1. Remove any USB devices apart from Mouse and Keyboard
2. Check system date and time
3. Check CMOS battery and replace it if needed.
4. Is the drive visible in BIOS?
5. Change setting to UEFI or CSM Or Legacy
6. Disable Secure Boot
7. Reseat M.2 Drive or check cables on Hard Drive and SSD, also unplug them and plug them back or change connector
8. Reinstall Windows, I know it’s a pain, but it could be a windows problem.
9. Check to see if drive is bad. CrystalDiskInfo and Western Digital Data Lifeguard Tools can be used to check drive, if bad sectors or errors, replace drive.

This is a very common problem and easy to fix. Smash the LIKE BUTTON 👍

[@calum6232]

Thank you fixed the problem immediately was worried I had corrupted files but this sorted it straight away cheers mate

[@spacedman42]

Yeah that was simple, glad to have clarification though. Tech and security is moving so fast it gets a little overwhelming, Got a like and sub from me..many thanks

[@vladimirmartinez290]

Why this happenned?

[@RulgertGhostalker]

LIKE I HAVE TIME TO LEAN COMPUTERS BETTER, WILE SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA IS RIPPING THE FREAKIN' TOPSOIL OFF THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT !!!

[@nugu7479]

3 years later still helped thanks bro!

[@ThatGUY666666]

Just finished installing a new motherboard and CPU. Just about had a heart attack when I got this message. Your video helped me knock it right out. My blood pressure and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@RTXEddy]

I still keep getting routed to BIOS 😩

[@brandankeel1855]

I upgraded my graphics card however when I turned the PC on I got stuck on the BIOS screen with no bootable drive found even though the system was reading my hard drives. Spent an hour reviewing half dozen videos with no luck. I then changed my search terms and watched your video. My CSM was disabled; after enabling it I was able to boot into Windows. Thank you! Your video was easy to understand and saved me a trip to the local PC repair shop. Thanks again and Happy New Year!

[@antoniogalang4260]

Yup! Same issue. Cleaned my PC and took out all the components in the process. Put it all back together in the original way I had it and then ran into this issue. CSM fix like the previous comment says is how I fixed it.

[@ShiroganeABA]

Same here 😂

[@DaveHoS]

had the issue of no drives showing up, set csm support to legacy and instantly works again. would have never figured this out on my own you saved me so much time and worry, Great vid!

[@bimgus7319]

Thanks man! Helped me too

[@asapgetwitit]

I didn’t even have to watch the video this comment saved my entire existence

[@PoliceCrimess]

Did u change the boot the boot mode too?

[@PoliceCrimess]

To legacy? Or did you leave boot mode on uefi, and then just change the csm support?

[@ps1laracroft989]

WTF You helped me! thanks man labya

[@wihtgar]

I just replaced my motherboard and cpu, and you just saved me hours of anguish! Thank you!!!😎👍🏻

[@hp6767]

I did the exact same thing and it worked, THANK GOD

[@peternedermann6751]

Like some of the comments mentioned already: if you are trying to breathe life into your PC after changing the Motherboard and CPU, most likely none of thesteps mentioned in the video will help: you will need to reinstall windows. It is really frustrating (instead of just buying another key and keeping your settings, you need to reinstall the whole 9 yards), but that is apparently how things now work. Just my experience.

[@seanwilson-ross8073]

My pc won’t even recognize the windows boot drive

[@christaphurr]

Thanks needed to know this

[@jarsco9477]

My wont either. Did you ever figure it out?​@@seanwilson-ross8073

[@Gaebs]

Yeah bro and what about my data????

​@@Gaebsshould have backed it up

[@wingdingdingaling]

You are an absolute legend. Thank you for this easy to understand tutorial where I thought I would’ve had to take my pc to a repair shop. But thanks to you I no longer have to. Definitely earned a sub 👍

[@axciline]

I’ve been stuck on this all day and this is the only video I could find that helped thanks so much man seriously

[@SODAH879]

Sir I wanna say thank you honestly I don't understand why some of these people do KZbin to help if they show us absolute dogsh*t but u saved me thank you ❤❤

[@nanaart2419]

Bro, you just made me feel so much better I was so tired and frustrated with this problem and now it's solved. I love you for this. Thanks🙏

[@scuttlebum]

Smashed it so hard. Thank you. Been stuck with this issue for hours before finding you.

[@ziksarthi]

Thank you very much, last step fixed my problem

[@Nudl3]

You are amazing! CSM was definitely my issue, thank you so much 🙂

[@adamraissez2802]

2 hrs later and still helping people out! Thank you kindly for all the information!

[@kingofgames259]

Thank the lord!!! CSM enabled fixed my issue. Could not get my system to detected my drives as Boot Options but they were there. Turned CSM on and boom!!! Back in. Thank you so much, you've saved my weekend from a hell of troubleshooting

[@Britec09]

CSM is for legacy hardware

[@KevinXD1988]

@@Britec09 doesnt let me go to uefi thing what do i do? it says no bootable device for me too

[@Richie016]

This kind of an error message usually prompts due to a hardware malfunctionality.Fixing it with these steps looks great.

[@Britec09]

Thanks

[@avejst]

Great video as always. In my last install at an new mother board, my old SSD would not boot up. I had to clean the SSD, and then install win10 again. And now it works. Normally win 10 makes two drives at a fresh install, but now it was 3 drives! But now it works. Strange with this chance. Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us 👍😀

[@Britec09]

You're welcome.

[@eliotmace2702]

My guy you're a life saver, would never think to change the CSM. Keep up the good work!

[@halo99yo]

Thank you so much! I was stuck for 2 hours. Switching bios from UEFI to CMS solved my problem.

[@kihoseo2254]

I was much embarrassed and confused when I turned on a new computer. You saved me! Much appreciated!

[@ilovewindows6851]

I recovered all my data because of you! Thanks to you who made windows boot up!!!😃😃😃 Thank You!

[@carsonm7292]

Thanks, I reset my CMOS as part of unrelated troubleshooting and forgot all about re-enabling CSM afterwards. Never would have figured it out on my own. Great video, clear explanations.

[@mushroomhigh24]

Hell yeah thanks! finally got into my new pc, always have a problem with windows not being found when I switch everything to a new rig but always end up getting through. Wouldn’t have done it again without this video

[@arnilg8416]

Thank you, very good video. Helped me.

[@eijosmanc]

Mate, thank you for this video. I thought I'd tried every single thing. Thanks to your vid I finally unplugged all USB-devices as a last resort before giving up - AND IT WORKED!

[@bloom2726]

Thank you so much 😮‍💨 I was getting worried and all it took was 4 minutes of video time. You’re a hero lol

[@goatxshxrky6496]

This is the only video that worked for me and I was looking for hours thank you

[@lui-d-pope5164]

Even after three years this helped a lot, thank you so much man. ( I did a bios update and got this issue, I changed the setting from Legacy to UEFI and the issue was fixed)

[@wyattshack1181]

What a legend. Year later still helping people!

[@oremarinkovic7925]

Thank you so much man. Fiddling around with the CSM settings and changing legacy to uefi solved the problem for me. Thank you again!

[@sirscottyyy]

Thank you man I love you!!! I was so stressed out after I made a bios update on a running system and then it couldnt detect my ssd

[@MiningCole]

I cannot express the love i feel for you right now. Thank you so much

[@pjellyme]

Thank you for positing. I spent 6 hours digging around and this video had information that helped me find a solution.

[@maddogthirteen]

Thank you!!!! I upgraded my system today (my last upgrade was in 2015) and had this problem, and your video helped me fix it. Thank you!!!

[@felixg1015]

Thank you! Enabling CSM worked for me., thought it was over.

[@ehme1506]

Csm enabling helped my gigabyte z690 recognize my m.2 and sata as boot drives when it wasn’t prior. Thank you for your help.

[@treebeard7121]

Three years later, after a motherboard replacement, "No Bootable Device Found". Following this video, I got me some Windows back, baby.! I'm running Window 10, and in the BIOS, ADVANCED, BOOT section, CMS support was disabled. Enabling allowed my boot drive to be recognized and boot. 😘

[@noobesemipro3081]

Thanks so much, had hours of trying to figure out bios, and yours is the one that worked.

Just got new motherboard and cpu and this vid save my life, thank you

[@hongsang8212]

Thanks for the tips. Lifesaver. After turning on Rapid Storage by mistake, my Asus motherboard couldn't find bootable drives anymore. Changing the CSM settings worked for me.

[@that_one_av57]

I have absolutely no idea why this would work. All I know is it did. Thank you so much, my brand new PC build is giving me Hell.

[@AlphaOmegon]

Thank you, Thank you. Changing the UEFI to legacy worked for me. I was about to gave up.

[@neox464]

Thank you! CSM support disabled was the problem for me, and this video helped a great deal.

[@RockEdison]

Helped me out, thanks much! Funny thing is that it booted flawelessly until i changed the chip fan, then didn't want to recognize the NVME as a boot disk. My guess is that enabling CSM did the trick but could also have been setting the windows OS in boot settings.

[@cmoney581]

Thank you thank you thank you! This fixed my issue, liked & subscribed!

[@RAPIDMOTORZz]

None of this worked for me and all it keeps doing is going to straight back to bios should I try a windows recovery usb

You are a saver. Got it right away brother with csm.Thanks a ton.

Thank you soo much I was so worried no I can play w my friends you deserve a like and suscribe

[@Lixtzu]

it’s 4am right now and i wasn’t going to go to sleep until this issue was fixed and thank god i ran into this video

[@SurfCityDurban]

Good video for less IT savvy folks. I've found that most times it's not usually the BIOS that is the issue, but you can't eliminate it as it does happen. Rebuilding the BCD with diskpart usually fixes the problem unless there is a hardware fault with the disk.

[@dixienormes-xl2is]

What steps did you take? The furthest I’ve gotten with no luck yet is I can only boot into windows recovery and bios at most but no boot options. Ran bootrec /rebuildbcd and fix mbr commands but can’t run the bootrec fix boot command access is denied

[@Melonfruity]

Thanks bud, i've been trying to fix that Problem for hours, and your video is the only one that inastanlty helped fix the problem, youre the best!!

[@dxp96]

2nd method worked perfectly thank you so much you saved me from stressful weekend ❤

[@womsirom]

A-mazing…it was CSM support for me. PC shut down and would not even boot up. The power button on the Z690 board would not even work. Overnight the power was left off. Thankfully it got into bios and then the CSM toggle gifted me Windows back. Thanks mate :)

[@abo-s3d]

You saved my life, my issue was connected usb devices 🤔, when disconnected them the M.2 showed up

[@nicolew4376]

Thank you! My pc was working perfectly well until I installed an nvme ssd then suddenly it stopped recognising my ssd and hdd. Enabling CSM and Legacy for storage drives solved it.

[@RedfishGames_]

6 different yt videos before this and u finally fixed my problem tysm 😊 I'm do grateful lol

I love you thanks! CSM enabling worked for me. Recently upgraded CPU and Mobo and encountered this issue.

[@adnelortiz]

I had such problem with an SSD I put on my daughter's PC, after checking everything I could, the fix was to wiggle the SATA wires a bit, and those have the click mechanism so they were properly connected. Not sure if the wire is faulty but after doing it, all worked fine. Have seen the same thing in a few machines, seems like poor contact.

[@riverwarts9084]

You literally just saved my homie and I hours of stress and problem solving. Brand new full beastly build an wouldn't boot, changed date/time an Legacy to UEFI....BOOM we back baby! You deserve all the likes and subs kind sir.
