I keep my Windows 7 PC on usually but decided to reboot it for a "fresh start" But it would not boot but, kept coming back to the window where you either boot normally or : "Last known configuration that worked" (something like that). Couldn't even get into safe mode. I thought it was the hard drive, power supply or motherboard. It recognized my secondary hard drive that had an old install of Windows XP and, in my desperation, I tried to boot from that drive but, no dice. So, I disconnected the power from that drive but, it still didn't recognize the OS on my boot drive. I searched KZbin and found your video. When one of your tips was to check the time in the BIOS, I noticed it was off by 3 days so, I changed the CMOS battery and, it booted. Thanks so much for your help.

I put a new battery in my laptop. It is showing "boot device not found." When I run the test, it says battery calibration required. What do I do?

[@PC_Monkey]

Can you calibrate as seen here? kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep69lYeKith6iK8. Was your HP computer turning on and working well before this battery replacement?

[@DarkMatterPlayz]

I think my hard drive is bad.I did the Storage test and tested my hard drive and it said "no hard drive installed. Please check that the power and data cables are connected properly".Can you tell me what this means?

[@PC_Monkey]

Remember to check the FAQ's in the description on my videos. It can save you some time getting an answer :) If the diagnostic test shows your HDD to not be installed, that means your HDD may be loose or bad. Try 'Reseating' the HDD first as seen here in this video. Try the diagnostic test again. If it fails to change the scan, I would then replace the HDD and install an Operating System to the new one.

Thanks for your video. So when I try to system restore (F11) it goes straight back to the error screen “no boot disk” etc? I’ve reset the boot options to default in BIOS and made sure my hard drive is at the top of my boot order. Also I only have option for UEFI and not legacy so I cannot enable legacy instead. Any advice please??

[@PC_Monkey]

1. Were you able to run the diagnostic scan? 2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?

[@user-uz1os1ud7h]

Hi! I was working on my HP 360 last night and all was fine. I had noticed that my laptop prompted me to download/install a windows update. I did and hit the "update and shutdown button". Cue to today, I turn on my computer to find the issue stating "Boot device not found" in your video. I went through the steps, did the quick scans (everything passed), and attempted to configure the BIOs. Two things I will comment were off though: 1) When I attempted to hit F12 or System Recovery, as stated in your video, it took me back to the main "Boot Device is not found" message. 2) I have not attempted reseating the hard drive. The HP 360 backing is a pain to open up. I can attempt to reseat the hard drive trouble shoot fix and come back with a reply to see if that works. Unfortunately, I work on my laptop and worried that all my files are doomed. Are they salvageable? Would need to buy a new hard drive and take it to a computer store to transfer data THEN reinstall OS? Thank you for your time and help! -Eddy

[@PC_Monkey]

If the Restore or Repair steps are not helping, then I would try a new install of the operating system. Yes, there is a chance you could lose DATA if you dont perform the new install correctly and choose the options to keep all your files. Its up to you if you want to try or take the HDD somewhere to have them see if they can get the DATA off assuming its ok.

I ran all of the tests, the only thing showing up is boot device not found in the storage tests.

[@PC_Monkey]

1. If your keyboard is not working, try using an external keyboard to get through the steps. 2. That means your HDD may be loose or bad. Try 'Reseating' the HDD first as seen here in this video.

The last hard drive I had got a boot loop, and after trying many methods it worked for a few hours and died shortly after.

But I don’t think it’s a problem with the hard drive dying since it’s new

Oh and I forgot to mention this, but sometimes in bios, only the system diagnostic option shows up

I’m thinking it could be a hard drive connection issue so I’ll probably check that in a moment

thank you for the video. I tried upgrading my HP Elitebook 8470p from a HHD to a SSD. I cloned the HHD to the SSD, upon booting I received a "no boot device found" error. I played around with the bios settings but no luck. I put the HHD back in and received the same error. I ran a hard drive diagnostic and passed the "Smart check" and "Short DST" . I checked the boot sequence and it shows the "notebook hard drive" is selected as my first boot option. I reset the bios to defaults as well. at this point i'm unsure, I may just have to reinstall windows. Any ideas?

Water spilled on my laptop now it shows no bootable device found. There is also no Legacy support button available, no hard drive check. What should I do?

[@PC_Monkey]

After a liquid spill, you want to first make sure the computer is 100% dry. You would turn your computer off immediately by pressing and holding the power button until the computer turns off. Then you would disassemble the computer as much as your comfortable with, at least trying to remove the bottom case. Then you would turn it on its side and let dry for a couple days. Have you done this yet or are you sure the computer is dry?

Youre assuming that people only get this error if their hard drive s corrupted/dead. What if youve upgraded your hard drive, its in your laptop and youre trying to install an OS from a bootable USB Stick or CD/DVD ROM and it says no boot device found even if there is one ? And youve checked multiple times that the bootable media is ok and changed the BIOS/UEFI to multiple different settings and it still wont boot from it ? The built in diagnostics is useless for this situation cos it just checks the blank hard drive and tells you what you already know - that its ok. So your solution of re-installing the OS or hard drive cant be carried out as you have to install it from bootable media, which doesnt work.

[@PC_Monkey]

No, lol, this video does not assume the HDD is bad. If so, the video would simply say, replace the drive. Video done lol. This takes you through other issues such as the BIOS settings, and other BIOS options, a 'reseat' in the event of the HDD being loose, or installing a new OS, assuming the HDD is good and its the OS that is the issue. Sounds like you missed quite a lot of this video...

[@PC_Monkey]

If your HP is showing a 'No Boot Device' error at startup, your on the correct video. Are you able to access BIOS or the diagnostic scan as seen here? If the computer is no longer showing that error but is now not showing anything on the screen, can you try the steps seen here instead? kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYClimehZ7Khlc0

[@Silent-1983]

Thank You! I changed the M2 and now there is no bootable image, I can't access the bios, I changed the cmos batteries, and I tried three different M2s. Nothing works!

[@PC_Monkey]

What was the result of the HP diagnostic test? Were you able to find any Repair or Restore options in BIOS? Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?

[@Silent-1983]

@@PC_Monkey Thank You! ❤ I can't use anything on the laptop since I got a cmos 502 error , and when I switch it on, all I see is the HP logo; I can't use CTR, F10, or F9. Evrey reboot states no bootable image found; notebook will be shut down. Model: HP Elitebook Folio 1040 G2. I bought a cmos battery, but nothing happened! PS All of this happened when I tried to update M2, and when I put the old one back, I got this error: "No bootable image found; notebook will be shutdown." I attempt to help a friend so he can just use it for music; he is a DJ, and I feel awful now!

6 days ago I've got an error in laptop saying "Your Windows Insider Build ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info and then you can restart." And it start showing BSOD in laptop I tried a lot of steps to sort it out but I was unable to do that. Then I took a Sandisk Cruzer Blade 16GB pendrive and I made that pendrive as bootable by using an Android application called "ISO2USB" by downloading the Windows 10 ISO file and I tried to install new Windows I did everything which required to do that installation process but still I'm getting the "No bootable device found " everytime. 😢 If you can please help me solve this issue.

@@PC_Monkey @PC_Monkey yeahhh I've all the diagnosis as shown here extensive diagnostic, fast diagnostic, memory, storage all that and everything is passed and fine no issues were found while doing that. But I'm unable to turn on my PC. Before this problem occurs I've updated some Windows updates but I'm not sure what causing the issue.

[@RayBaumgarte]

I have a HP 15-dw1083wm with a 128GB x600 M.2 and it was dead and is booting to the logon screen but without options. It says that your pin is no longer valid you need to change pin and need internet to do this. However, I can't get to windows to hook up to internet. I try the recovery USB, but it is not working. I went to bios set up and enable the USB boot but still doesn't recognize it. The USB ports seem to be dead.

[@PC_Monkey]

Were you able to run the HP diagnostic test? Were you able to enter BIOS at all and look for any Recovery or Repair options? Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?

When i wanna Check the Hard Drive it says no Hard drive is installed

[@PC_Monkey]

1. The diagnostic test said that the HDD is not installed? That means your HDD may be loose or bad. Try 'Reseating' the HDD first as seen here in this video. Try the diagnostic test again. If it fails to change the scan, I would then replace the HDD and install an Operating System to the new one.

[@jonathanluci6278]

I have a problem where I ONLY get the "no hard drive found" when I RESTART from Windows. If I power down completely and then power up, it starts no problem. It's a brand new Samsung 870 EVO SSD cloned from the original hdd. I had this same issue with a new WD Blue SSD on another laptop, and eventually it stopped powering up altogether after a few months. It's not a BIOS or reading, or even connection issue. I can reinstall the old HDD and it will work flawlessly. I used the same cloning software for a Samsung 990 PRO NVME M.2 on a third HP laptop with no problem. I've tried Samsung Magician, AOMEI Backupper and a dual-dock hard drive reader with independant cloning capability with same results.

If the diagnostic test showed your HDD to be healthy and none of the other fixes helped, you would now try to reinstall the operating system.

Ive tried multiple steps through this video and the old one you've posted a couple years ago. Nothing seems to have worked. It still says it doesnt have a hard drive installed after doing the steps and checking through the faqs. I tried just a moment ago to try and reseat the hard drive manually but it seems the back of my laptop cant or wont come off. It has honestly made me want to start crying because this has never happened before and i lost my little 2tb hard drive i use to back up my stuff. I tried both the new charger i bought today and the other one, still getting the error. I even contacted hp and they ghosted me pretty much. I an sorry for the rant but i dont know what to do and cant afford another laptop or hard drive right now.. any and all advice will be appreciated.

@PC_Monkey yes it was apart of the hp diagnostic scan, even did a memory one to rule that out and its fine. There has been no liquid spillage, overheating or due to a windows update.
