Q: I cant run the diagnostic scan. It wont complete or I cant access it.
A: If you cannot run the scan, we don't know for sure if the HDD is healthy or not. We will have to continue troubleshooting assuming it is for now. If its healthy, and if the issue is operating system related, I would then reinstall it.

How you change bios from legacy to UEFI. Did you add in boot sequence.
@@nishunigam22801. You need to look around your BIOS to find where those settings are. Sometimes you can change between the two with a dropdown menu. Other times, it would be disabling one, activates the other. Every BIOS is different.
2. If you cannot find where to do that, or if doing it does not help, can you run the Dell diagnostic scan?
@@PC_Monkey can you tell me where is boot manager is. Because I selected all the functions key but couldn't find boot manager to install windows. Where can I find boot manager.

I've got one for you. I have a Dell 3420 Precision SFF. Booting from USB to Open Media Vault 6 (Linux NAS software). Using Legacy in the BIOS, it boots one time. If I re-boot or have power failure, it will not reboot again without going into the BIOS again, change a setting, and exiting. It will then boot. Until a re-boot or powerfailure.
I am using wireless (usb dongled) keyboard and sometimes I could hit key when I got the "no boot device found error" and it would boot up without going into the BIOS. I decided to update the BIOS to latest and now wireless keyboard not recognized until after the BIOS???
I am curious if I flash back an older BIOS on it without messing it up. Wish I figure this out. It's a pain to have to go into the BIOS every time I need to reboot the thing
Thank you so much for making this videos dude
You saved my pc's life.
I was trying to install a gtx 1050 ti to my optiplex 7010, but i forgot that i needed an ssd so i rebooted but didnt turn on.

Thanks for the informative video, I’m not sure if my next move should be reinstalling windows or checking the BIOS; under Connection, the HTTPs Boot Feature says “CA Certificate is not provisioned,” is this the error I should resolve or is this a normal error if the BIOS needs to be updated?
1. What was the result of the Dell diagnostic scan?
2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
On my Dell Inspiron N4110 I installed a storage caddy where I wanted to boot from but even after adjusting the boot options it still only boots from the main internal drive.
My desktop is extremely old but the same still applies today great video.
Great to hear !! Always here to help :):)
I purchased a laptop that did not have an operating system and only has a msata card in it. I tried hooking up an external hard disk and it seems to have done something to the drive because when I tried to return them to their original systems neither one would come up.
I believe the MSATA changed some settings on both drives.
I made some changes in the Bios and now under the pre-boot system assessment it tells me that the hard drive's not present.I am dealing with imaginable circumstances and it would not be out incomprehensible that the system I received was designed to sabotage some things. Your help would be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks a bunch it worked 🎉

What if you have cloned your HDD to an SSD but can't get the SSD to be the boot device? I have a Dell M4800 with this issue. The UEFI list has Windows Boot Manager at the top, but changing this does not solve the problem. I am wondering if the UEFI boot entry for the SSD needs to be modified or Windows Boot Manager needs to be configured?
I somehow messed up along the way and while in the settings I reset the settings to user custom settings and it buffered for a while before shutting off and disallowing me from booting up or doing anything, boot machine seems to just not exist at all anymore as every button just reboots, including every f1 key on the thing.
Thank you. It worked.

Now that my PC is in a startup loop, can I bypass that problem by inserting the install USB and tapping F12?
I want to recover my personal file, so I should select that choice, correct?
Last time, I choose the latter and made it to the drive selection windows, and selected the primary drive with 465GB Allocated and 465GB free space but received "not enough space to continue", so if I select Repair and Recovery will I be able to fix not enough space and continue with install? I got little confused after watching the 4 vids you cited in your last post and maybe you can give me a few steps to follow to save files and fix this PC.
Yes, I would try the Repair and Recovery options first to try and save your DATA assuming the HDD is still healthy. Have you ran the test as seen here to test the drive?
Got the same problem "No bootable devices found". I have inspiron 7500. I did diagnostic test all passed. But in boot sequence it says UEFI only and no options to select. Tried to update BIOs or changed to ACHI no effect at all. Got a new hard drive installed. Same issue. Any advice on what to do? Thanks!
After installing the new hard drive, did you install an operating system onto it?

I have a optiplex 3070 and it had a windows boot manager I mistakenly deleted that so Im having the same issue its not booting now I tried both UEFI and Legacy but didn't worked how can I bring back that windows boot manager.
appreciate this video,,, tried to boot up my 2013 xps13 for the first time in like, 3/4 years. i dont have a hard drive installed apparently, and im pretty sure its just given up on life
What is happening when you try to boot it up? Are you able to access BIOS or the diagnostic scan as seen here?
helpful Thanks!

I have run the diagnostics everything checks out. No actual errors, but I am having the Preparing Automatic Repair loop. What would you suggest?

Hello! thanks for the video! Mine has a specific issue that sometimes it boots up, and sometime it doesnt. My laptop had a HDD, and I changed to SSD, installed windows 11, but with an i3 of 7th gen. It was getting BSOD showing a message: system service exception, and 0xc0000185 (required device inst connected or cant be accessed). I'm still doing some tests. I can keep it on for more than hours and wont give any problem. Ive also upgraded the memory card, now it has a 4GB DDR4 cas 15 and a 8GB DDR4 cas 19 (2.400MHz and 3.200MHz). I´ve changed the SSD and installed windows 10 on it because ive read that windows 11 wouldnt work on 7th gen (ive installed thorough a pendrive). It went straight into dell diagnostics when i restarted. It was configured to boot UEFI, so changed to legacy. It didnt boot up the first time, but now i restarted about 6x and its fine. Not sure the difference between legacy and uefi, and i'm not sure if the flat cable has some issue when I removed the HDD, still a mistery, but i'll keep doing tests. Thank you (Dell inspiron15 3000 i15-3567-A15P)
Sometime it is the bios corruption leaving no device detected in storage configuration while they are still visible in the boot option but once you attempt to launch it would come up as “ no bootable device found” disable ahci by switched to ide mode and device appears but “no bootable device found” is still occurred. Turn back to ahci mode and goes to boot option, select the uefi option of the boot media and it goes to installation option and device is in the option! This leaving me to believe it the bios and possible hardware failure that it literally skipped CSM and force everything have to run on Uefi . I end up swap the motherboard in the end because I can’t afford to lose my data with silly uefi boot.
I have an issue with an Inspiron 7373 where I get a black screen without the dell logo, with what seems like no response from the hardware. Sometimes I get lucky and I can get into diagnostics and BIOS settings when the logo does show up. I’ve unattached all external hardware and diagnostics show no issues with hardware, but no bootable device found. I also changed in the BIOS from UEFI to Legacy, and the reboot doesn’t take me to the logo again at restart and there’s only a black screen 😢 it’s just a black screen with no signs of the hardware working. Is there anything else I can try?
Can you try a manual BIOS reset as seen here? czcams.com/video/76I2Ec9K7lw/video.html. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
Hello my friend, first I want to thank your efforts and clear information, it was really helpful. I have a problem with my friend dell inspiron 15 5547. I was using it and everything was fine. A message appeared from the system telling me that there was an update for some system features, and I logged in and accepted the update. After completion it asked to restart to install those updates. And here, I began to suffer with it
When restarting the device, the device did not work, and a single beep sound appeared, repeated at a fixed time, and here I learned from the official website that this sound indicates that you have lost the BIOS
I re-installed the BIOS file through an external programming tool, and when I run it, an error appears that says that it is no bot device found, and when I enter the BIOS settings and choose to boot
From the other option, a black screen appears containing a small line like this (-) in the upper left side, and it remains like this, and I had to reboot, and here I was surprised that the BIOS lost its file again. Every time that black screen appears, I lose the BIOS file and there is another problem. There is a sudden shutdown after a few seconds of turning on the device, and sometimes it does not turn off. I have confirmed the time and date, and I have done a full examination of the device, and no error has appeared. The hard drive is intact, the processor is intact, everything is
intact and works well
I replaced the bios battery and still the same problem
I installed a new BIOS chip and the same problem remained
The examination tells me that the hard disk is in good condition, but there may be a problem with it, but even after removing it, this sudden shutdown remains, not all of the time (sudden shutdown) loss of bios data)
1. Were you able to run the diagnostic test?
2. Are you able to find any Recovery or Repair options in BIOS?

Hi. I can’t seem to fix my laptop still even after binge watching your videos. So the error message I used to get was “Boot failure on device” and I changed the boot to legacy and now it’s showing “Check cable connection! PXE-M0F : Exiting PXE ROM. Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key”. I also tried the BIOS flash update and it says “No files found”. I really need help. This is on an Alienware R4 😢
What was the result of the diagnostic scan? Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
Hello I’m a new subscriber. I did do all the things on your videos but still not working. I did run diagnostics and I found out unable to detect charger and Hard drive not installed. My laptop model was Dell Latitude 3420. Thank you so much in advance
That means the HDD is either loose or bad. Try reseating it as seen here. If that does not help, replace it and install an operating system onto the new one.

Dell diagnostic test show warning HD not detected. I have a new Seagate Disk. I installed new driver a few days ago, still no boot. HD is connected to motherboard by a connecter (power and data I think) I might a diagnostic again with new drive install. If result is the same.

Hey. Here's the problem: there is no csm or legacy boot option in my 1.15 dell bios. I think this might be the solution, but the bios just doesn't have these options at all.
Not even bootable usb are working, they come back to the no bootable devices problem. Also, the usb can only the seen in the boot manager, not in the bios setup.
Could this be a bios issues?

I dont understand. You wish to upgrade from Win7 to Win10 and you also wish to update BIOS? What is wrong with your current BIOS?
The present bios are from 2011 ver A10
I see on the Dell support site there is a new Bois for my XPS L702X ver A19 from 2020.
Surley this would be better for windows 10 driver support. Hope this makes sence
Any help and advice would be most appreciated

Since second to last post, I shutdown the bad PC when I couldn't figure out how to get sufficient free space to the primary drive during the windows 10 reinstall. Now, when I try to restart PC, without windows 10 reinstall USB, the PC gets to the Dell logo, and starts over -- another loop? The HD tests were done immediately after observing the "No Boot...." problem appeared. Feel like I'm slipping down deeper in that proverable rabbit hole.
Are you able to run the diagnostic test as seen here? If so, what was the result?
Great video, thank you! Question: I followed all your steps however am still having some issues. I am getting the same 'No Boot Devices Detected' error upon startup. I have a Dell, so i ran the diagnostics and it is coming back with no errors on the drive. When i access the boot sequence in the BIOS, there is nothing in the list.

In looking at the setup utility page [main, advance and boot tabs] I think I need to give you a screen shot of these pages, because I believe my setting are messed up. You agree? if so let me know which tabs you want and I'll try to capture them with my phone and send them.
If the hard drive is healthy and if the recovery, repair and reset options are not being successful, its most likely due to the operating system being too messed up. At this point, I would attempt a new install of Windows.

1. If you cannot locate the options to switch between or if switching does not work, then skip that step and continue with the rest of the video :) What was the result of the Diagnostic Scan?
2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?

Hi, I've recently had this problem with my dell laptop my model is a latitude E5430 and yet I've tried most of these solutions, but I end up with the same problem - No bootable devices - so I'm not sure how I could fix this problem, but I have tested my computer and all the parts are fine. but I just can't seem to get it to boot. so, if you have time, I would like to have your opinion on this, otherwise I'm thinking on bringing it into a shop to have it checked out. thanks
If changing the settings in BIOS did not help and the diagnostic scan showed the hard drive to be healthy, then you can proceed with the rest of the video. You can try the Repair or Recovery options in BIOS or undoing the last update if applicable. If that does not help, your last resort would be to install a new operating system.

Hi, my Dell laptop shows an error message of “no bootable devices found”. I had run the advanced diagnose and it shows “All test passed successfully”.
I have did the following:
1. unplug all external device, and cable.
2. Untick UEFI at boot sequence. A weird thing here at my boot sequence I did not see my HDD.
Can you advise me what should I do?
1. If the HDD is healthy, perhaps its an OS issue. Can you find any Repair or Recovery options in BIOS?

I have a Dell E6420 running Windows 7. The Bios screen doesn't have the same options as what you are using in Windows10. I can't fix the problem of hard drive not being found. Besides, one of the screws for hard drive compartment won't screw in. I have tried various times. Maybe it doesn't sit right. I have an SSD drive. Never had this problem before.
What was the result of the diagnostic scan?
Does the HDD feel like its loose and not secure without that screw?
Dell Latitude e7470 in diagnostic it says no problems but when i go to details for hard drive it says N/A hard drive 0-0-0

Yes, you should be able to install Win10 if you have Win10 Install Media :) That may wipe Windows but more likely it will just wipe your DATA
@@PC_Monkey I have reinstalled windows, the pc was working fine and it turns out that it doesn't read/detect my main m.2 ssd at all, so I put in an hdd and it was reading it, I installed the new windows on it, and everything was fine untill I tried to pull out the m.2 ssd from the laptop and the issue of "No Bootable Devices Found" appeared again, ngl I was aboutta cry at this moment 😭, what should I do, I do not know if its reading the m.2 ( it wasn't reading it previously and when I put the hdd the windows installation detected a hard drive, and when I pulled out the m.2 it doesn't read anything, so confusing I know, but please PLEASE try to get me some help, I may lose my sanity 😭🙏🏿
@@Chqnged If you pulled out one of your drives and then got a 'No Boot' error, I would assume that the OS was on the drive you pulled out. The OS needs to be installed onto the drive that the computer is trying to boot off of.

I have one for you, Dell E5570, Windows 10 latest update, did a Dell firmware update, now I get the no bootable device found. did diagnostics it says the m2 SSD is there and healthy, it sees the m2 in the configuration, but it does not see a primary hard drive. any ideas? was thinking of downgrading the firmware update and have never done one
Are you able to look around BIOS and find any options to Repair or Undo Last Update?
@@PC_Monkey I did, I went back a number of versions of the firmware. no fix. I finally re-did the firmware update and made a new boot volume, and used the command line tools to create the boot drive, then had to enable legacy to allow it to boot. that worked.

Hello, on Feb 5th, I had a warning that my virtual memory was very low, I was about to shut everything off, but before that I got a black screen.
So I rebooted, and got the error 0xc000000f.
Apparently it this is an OS crash I think, because nothing is wrong with the hardware, and after 2 diagnostic tests, both results say that the hard drive is healthy, no issues.
It is a Ispiron 660 I3 Tower, Windows 7 64bit.
If I use a installation/recovery disk, will it wipe my hard drive?
Is there anyway to extract files before I reinstall the OS?
Are you able to find any Recovery or Repair options in BIOS?

Hi and thank you for all the great videos. I have a Dell Inspiron 5545. What happened is now I can't find the Boot Sequence never had this problem before. Also in my BIOS under Security I see a locked password as well. I can't unlock it! Should I remove the Cmos battery for an hour? Thank you for any help you can give. Greetings from Greenville, NC.
Can you run the Dell diangnositc test as seen here? Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Overheating, liquid spill, Windows update, etc? HOLY MOLY !! I just moved to Greenville SC like 2 months ago lol Greetings neighbor !!
Wow! Greetings neighbor, lol. Yes, I had some heating issues. It was dirt and dust in the fan that was slowing the fan down to the point it would go black screen. After I clean up the fan everything was ok. P.S. Merry Christmas@@PC_Monkey
@@highwayroadrunner206 Can you run the Dell diangnositc test as seen here?
I just finished running the Dell test to include; Bios, Memory and the whole support assist program. Weak battery was all it found. All the other tests were green checked as passed. Still have the locked program under security. Still no boot sequence found. I think the Bios went off the rails after an update on the firmware. And it still is asking me for a password that I don't have or installed! I'm going with your suggestion and pull that Cmos battery wait an hour or longer and go from there. Thank you Boss. @@PC_Monkey
@@highwayroadrunner206 Good luck !! Let me know how it goes :)
Hi. I have encountered the same problem saying Hard drive not installed. I do not know what to do.
If you have encountered the same problem as the one discussed here, how do you not know what to do? Wouldnt you try the steps seen here if your issue is the same as this one?
Hello I browse and watch some of your old videos hoping to find a way to solve my problem no luck for now , I have a problem with my laptop I'm not sure if its hardware or software I hope you can help me, (Acer predator triton 300) while I was watching some movies my laptop suddenly had an error (window screen) and need to restart which I did, it run like normal (logo and loading circle all) but when I log in I notice my drive D gone missing, I check the disk management rescan nothing (its also not in allocated space), check device manager but it didn't show up too, so I power off my laptop unplug the charger, plug it back in when I power it on, it just shows the company logo (predator) then that's all the spinning circle didn't show up I'm stuck there I still can get into the bios but not the windows start up repair (tried it power on and off but didnt work) then power it off open the back remove the battery and bios battery plug it back on then I'm able to see the spinning circle again but the disk D still missing, I also tried manually getting in the startup repair I use the windows repair but it says it couldn't repair the error, then I shutdown it and once again stuck on the logo with no spinning circle, it pass by it when I unplug and plug in the bios battery but the disk D still missing.
I'm guessing that the OS is in the drive D causing the logo only error problem and that also affect the missing drive D I hope you can help me, most of my files are in it hoping I can save it. If I'm wrong correct me and tell me if its hardware (broken hard drive) bios battery (dying battery) OS error (software problem) if none of this is right please help me. Thank you.

@@PC_Monkey hello, I just found that video right after I write the first one I follow all the step on it and none work, I also tried to do the bootable flashdrive with OS window (with your video too) I can access (f2) the bios but another problem i found is the bios freeze when I try to boot, I tried it again without the flashdrive, turns out the bios freeze every time I save and exit, with this another problem, I can't boot via bootable flashdrive using bios cause it will only freeze.
@@reggieming3542 At that point, you may need to replace the hard drive before installing an operating system to the new one.
