Hello everyone.
I was using my laptop, and suddenly a window comes stating: Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart.
After this, my laptop was not starting. The following screen came, and I was getting this message: No bootable device -- insert a boot disk and press any key.
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key.
I have some very essential files on this laptop. Any help will be appreciated.
