Device not found, no Windows 10 start detected
I own a laptop, an Acer Aspire VX 15, equipped with a 250 gigabyte NVMe SSD that came with it, and later added a 1TB HDD. While playing MSFS2020, my computer shut down unexpectedly. When I pressed the power button, it displayed "no bootable device found." I attempted to switch from UEFI to Legacy mode after reading online instructions, but encountered the error "press enter after inserting bootable device." Eventually, I booted into a Windows 10 installation USB and opened CMD. The disk listing in DISKPART only showed the USB drive and the HDD, not the SSD. I haven’t made any recent changes to my BIOS or installed anything new, though I’ve experienced occasional BSODs since installing VALORANT (possibly related to Vanguard). This situation is particularly stressful because I need to join online meetings. If anyone has insights on this issue, your guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. EDIT – Clarification: My laptop’s SSD is three years old, the HDD is over a year old, and it was just a month ago that I reinstalled Windows. The Startup Repair didn’t help, as my Windows drive isn’t detected in the BIOS. The most recent software I added was NETCUT for managing Wi-Fi networks.
However, drives often show signs of reduced speed before they completely fail. Your SSD was running smoothly and I wasn’t anticipating any issues during gameplay on the HDD.
Could you confirm if there are any potential issues to look out for? For backing up a large HDD, consider whether another HDD or cloud storage would be more suitable.
Another hard drive. The cloud remains a future option (many users struggle with slow upload speeds). Take the drive out of your laptop and plug it into another computer as a secondary storage device. See if you can access your files.
You're encountering an issue where nothing moves despite installing Valorant and Boot Camp, and you're seeing a "no boot device found" message. It might be worth checking your USB connections, ensuring the correct boot device is selected, or verifying that your system meets the requirements for installation.
