Computer reports no bootable device detected yet, yet displays SDD and hard drive information in BIOS.
Hello everyone,
I've faced difficulties starting my computer beyond the BIOS settings for several days. The boot process keeps indicating "No Bootable Device Found," though the "Peripherals" section in the BIOS lists both my current SSD and the old hard drive I previously connected. I'm planning to share a photo of the BIOS and my system details.
This issue started when I tried to power on my machine; it displayed a boot error with the option to reset BIOS settings. After selecting that, the computer functioned normally for a short time before resuming. Later, when trying to turn it back on, the system immediately redirected to the Gigabyte BIOS interface and reported "No Bootable Device Found."
I've tried re-seating my RAM modules, connecting the old hard drive—which had previously run Windows successfully—and both attempts failed. However, using an SSD adapter with my laptop allowed me to access important school files without any problems.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
If Windows Boot Manager isn't listed among your bootable devices, it suggests your operating system may be damaged. Ensure all essential data has been backed up from the OS drive, then shut down the system, disconnect all drives except the one you want to install on, and finally reinstall the OS using a new bootable UISB installer after rebuilding it. Updating the BIOS to the latest version is also advisable at this stage.
Thank you for the update. I followed your advice and used the Windows 10 installer USB on my old WD 4TB hard drive without any problems. I was planning to wipe it and access the data from another laptop. However, the Windows installer isn't working on my SSD anymore. All the options are grayed out and I can't click the "Next" button. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
