Hello,

I know this is a widespread problem and I know there are many topics with solutions around on all kinds of fora. I have gone through so many I have lost track so I decided to start my own threat. 

 

The problem is 'Boot Device not found' 

 

Now, I have tried the f2 system diagnostics, both the quick and the extensive hardrive check, both passed with flying colours. 

 

I don't have any usb in the laptop from which is could try to boot.

 

I tried to switch the legacy support/secure boot.

 

The uefi boot order and legacy boot order are fine (I included a picture because maybe I am mistaken).

 

It might be something very obvious that I am missing but I was wondering if there are more things I can try? I'd be very grateful for any advice. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Tjesse Boot optionsBoot options

Hi

 

Hard Disk 3F0 is a failed Hard Disk.

So can you install an operating system?

Can you drop down the OS Boot Manager?

Hi! Thanks for your help. OS Boot manager not found, it says. 15436043081011764895646.jpg

 

 I am not entirely sure how to go about installing an operating system from here to be honest.

Hi

 

Well it is a bit of 3 act tragedy.

 

First is hardware replacement.

Second is OS and drivers.

The final act is trying to recover your data.

 

Unfortunately I am currently mobile and using a phone that is out SMART ing me, so apologies that this is less than meaningful.

Hi

 

You would need to source a Replacement Hard Drive, then install on OS...

etc etc.

 

So is it something you wish to try, if so can you give an exact Model Number, or take to a local repair shop?
