Computer's BIOS is not configured correctly and it tries to boot from a device (not standard internal storage) that has no bootable stuff on it (e.g. empty USB pen drive). Or your Secure Boot/Legacy Mode settings are not correct

In my initial reply I told you all possible option. The idea is to rule them all out to find the exact reason. Since you performed the hardware diagnostics, this means it is a software/configuration issue.


If it worked for you and if Windows came preinstalled on this PC, please review the Secure Boot/Legacy mode options in the BIOS -Secure Boot should be enabled, Legacy Mode should be off. Boot priority needs to be the internal storage drive first (on top).


You can directly download Windows 10 ISO from MS site or download >>> Media creation tool from Microsoft site, create installation USB and proceed with clean installation/reinstallation.




I have an Acer Aspire V3-371 Series laptop here and it can't boot as it cannot find any Bootable device. I originally tried to reinstall Windows, that didn't work. So I tested the original HDD. It was defect to some degree. So I changed it out for a new one and installed Windows again. The PC worked! But just for a week or so before the exact same problem occurred again... Now I'm out of ideas what it could be.


It sounds like there is a defect in your power supply that is damaging your hard drive. Can you test your other components and see where the problem is coming from. Have you tried posting your question on the official Acer support forums:


@lukecetion, what do you mean the original HDD was "defect to some degree"? Have you run a recovery disc like Hirens has hard drive diagnostic tools, master boot record tools, antivirus software, etc.


In most cases, the issue of no bootable could get caused by the USB devices that you are using. So, the best way to deal with the issue is by disconnecting all the in-use USB peripherals. Also, you need to make sure that you plug out your USB keyboard and mouse as well to get rid of the problem.


Moreover, the problem of no bootable device can also get caused by loose cables. So, you need to get the computer sure that you have the wires of your computer tightened when you are dealing with the problem. The first thing you can do is turning off your computer and then checking all the SATA cables and their connection with the hard drive and the motherboard.


When restarting hit whatever f (function) button to get to setup start up screen, arrow right to the last screen and change windows boot to LEGACY. Windows 8 and above warning blah blah then save and restart. Got me back to my original sdd/operating programs so I could flash with a more updated Bios firmware.


hiiii my laptop has no bootable device but cannot manage to switch on,does a loud beep when connecting charging cable, flashes a rectangular image after i keep the on/off key on,i am desperate indeed last time it happened i just forced it to shut down and it worked but now it has been more than 2 hours and it s not coming back to life can someone help pls,thank u so much i am using it for work


Been there done that, sometimes when my bettery runs out and the pc shuts down the bios changes the boot option from legacy bios to uefi, but you can go to bios and change it back, it goes both ways, it depends in which of them you have installed the windows because the type of format they use for the hard drive is different..


Is the SATA cable properly inserted? If there are no clicking sounds coming from the HDD, that could be the problem. Otherwise, if you have an SSD , clicking noises are a horrible sign (I think) , and something is definitely wrong with it.


Unplugged all the drives except the main system drive and installed from USB using the download image. After the installation when asked to reboot, I remove the USB drive and reboot only to find No Boot Device Found Press Any Key to reboot


Installed on Legacy and get a No boot device found but the screen is different as I also get options: Press F1 to retry, F2 to run setup F5 to change boot options upon pressing F1 I get the Grub screen, and the system boots


I had to manually copy /EFI/debian/grubx64.efi to /EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi and create the boot entry in bios. For some reason, the Dell T30 does not take any other path whether configured in boot options or not. I used a gparted live usb to get a terminal and mounted the EFI partition to make this happen.


As for the F1 to retry boot, again I think it's a Dell server issue, I had removed a bunch of drives so it's kinda telling me the cover is removed and enabled devices are not connected. I suppose I could have left the system installed as a Legacy install ...


I was trying to install OMV on a Dell Precision 5810 and the machine would not boot to the grub menu using either legacy or UEFI boot options (with SecureBoot disabled). However, I could boot the OMV installer from USB drive and I could also boot Ubuntu Server after an install and also proxmox. I was unable to boot either OMV or debian netinst after installing either.


I learned that in the UEFI boot menu, the Dell machine seemingly always looks for /EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi. Even when I manually created a boot target and entered /EFI/debian/grubx64.efi, it would be reset to bootx64.efi after a reboot.


Some EFI-based systems are buggy and do not handle new bootloaders correctly. If you force an extra installation of GRUB to the EFI removable media path, this should ensure that this system will boot Debian correctly despite such a problem. However, it may remove the ability to boot any other operating systems that also depend on this path. If so, you will need to make sure that GRUB is configured successfully to be able to boot any other OS installations correctly.


After this completes, reboot the machine and it should boot up into OMV without needing a USB boot first. I like the "super grub 2" solution here because it is a mechanism to boot OMV directly and fix the problem without manually changing things.


It seems that Debian does not perform installation of the removable media path by default (and OMV inherits this). Other distros like Ubuntu do set it up by default which is why I was able to boot Ubuntu after installation but not Debian or OMV.


I was running Windows 10 64 bit. I downloaded the installer from Lubuntu.me downloads page. I can run fine from the USB. I installed it and chose erase disk, I tried both Swap and No Swap. Both times bootable device not found. I tried turning off secure boot. Still bootable device not found.


I think I have to do something like this but all the instructions I find are for ubuntu. And at the moment I have a dev/sda which is the live USB and dev/sdb with a 1/2 on it when i looked at gparted.


I have recently installed a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 from a live USB completely formatting my hard drive. However, the installed OS does not register with the UEFI and it does not even try to boot -- fails with an error message "no bootable devices found".


After some searching I have found the following answer: -to-change-ubuntu-install-from-legacy-to-uefi. The issues was that my live USB only boots in BIOS mode (rather than UEFI) and thus incorrectly installs Ubuntu.


I have recently installed Ubuntu20.04 on two laptops and had the same problem there. For Lenovo laptop I changed legacy BIOS to UEFI(for this I gave 1GB for efi during partition) and enabled secure boot it worked, for older HP laptop I installed it on Legacy BIOS and gave 1GB for /boot during partition.


After searching, I have not found a solution that makes sense for my situation. I have been trying for two days to get Windows 10 installed on my MacBook Pro on a partition created with Boot Camp. I downloaded an ISO directly from Microsoft and Bootcamp copied it onto my Memorex 32GB USB2. I get through to creating the partition, but when my Mac restarts, I get a black screen with No Bootable Device Found. I can boot into Mac OS by pressing alt/option on reboot and selecting the Mac hard drive. I can see Windows as another option, but that gets me back to the black screen, and then I have another EFI Boot option. I also tried to boot into that EFI Boot, but was not able to get beyond selecting my bootcamp partition to install windows onto, and then ran into more issues (disk was not the correct format, not able to change it). I got concerned about trying to make that work because I really don't know what I am doing - probably quite obviously - and did not want to lose data or overwrite something I shouldn't.


Is it there a USB device you would recommend? Is the memorex model the issue? I did try to follow a tutorial to make my ISO on my USB device bootable, but it did not change anything. I ended up giving up and deleting the partition, but I would be willing to try again with a different USB device. Thank you for your response!


I am having the same issue. I have tried creating the bootable USB drive from 2 different computers, with 2 different downloads and have tried booting to it from 2 different computers and always have the same issue. The BIOS sees the USB drive, but is unable to boot to it. Something wrong with the image?


im not talking about making the usb bootable, im talking about the device not booting.

Interesting discovery: I have an external HDD/SSD adapter, and I decided to utilize it to install everything onto my SSD. Surprisingly, it booted successfully while connected externally.

But if i place the disk inside the computer, it fails to boot again


I fixed mine after turning PCIe ARI Support to Auto in my UEFI. it was under Advanced\AMD CBS\NBIO Common Options. After that I reinstalled from USB and tried booting again and it worked perfectly/ Hope this helps


Well, i dont seem to have the same luck as you, Asus VC60 is a old computer, idk if that has anything to do with it, i have the latest BIOS firmware but it is not recent.

I already lost hours around this trying to set it up, it only work from my external disk, and that makes clear no sense.

Would love to hear some feedback from the team.
