TOSHIBA No bootable device - please restart FIX!

Update 12.2020: Try this if the Toshiba video does not help you: • No Legacy Boot Options...
Sometimes on new TOSHIBA laptops there will be found this problem. You will not be able to install Windows... Here is the FIX.
Steps:
1. Restart with CTRL+ALT+DELETE after the message No bootable device... appears;
2. Access laptop's BIOS Setup menu (F2 od Delete button);
3. In Security tab disable Secure boot if it is enabled;
4. In Advanced tab, in System Configuration change the boot mode from UEFI Boot to CSM Boot;
5. Press F10 and YES to save new settings and your laptop is ready to install WIndows.
Good luck!!!

[@alexisrodriguez2801]

I must say that your solution REALLY WORKED. I messed around and tried the disabled SECURE BOOT, but had no clue about the CSM boot. This computer belongs to a customer and it gave me a harder time than any other portable I had toyed around with. Thanks a lot.

[@tomwhitehead7082]

Thanks a bunch man, was considering getting a new laptop! For the first time in my life, a camera-phone-recorded youtube tutorial has actually worked.

[@jeffreyd508]

Let's be at least grateful for the phones. 15yrs ago we would have to find another computer to put next to us to access info on how to find a solution!

[@BOWDEn12644]

For people who do this step and it comes up with "no bootable device -- please insert boot disk". Turn the PC completely off, turn it back on holding F2 - go to Advanced - System Config - Boot Mode again and revert back to UEFI Boot from CSM Boot - hold F10 - save and exit. Should work fine.

[@medievalist]

This worked perfectly, thanks so much.

So I had this problem today. I'm on this channel after watching three videos but none worked. I was able to fix it with just a simple step. Care to guess? I removed my Laptop battery (it was kinda dusty and I cleaned it. Not sure if it contributes to fixing the problem) put it back in and then waited few seconds before booting. It worked like Magic. I used this solution to fix most problems on my laptop (Toshiba) anyway. Hope it works for you

You were fortunate. My Toshiba HD went bad so I installed a new one. No matter what settings were used, it would not boot from USB or the internal DVD drive. Tried everything from genuine Windows 7 Pro install disc to various linux usbs. NOTHING worked. The same media worked elsewhere. Finally took it in. The repair quote was more than the POS cost in the first place. I donated it to Goodwill and got an HP instead. Three years later and still not a single problem. Toshiba sucks.
