No bootable device

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Hi:

You have a different WLAN card than those listed on that other PC's driver page.

Here is the driver for that...

The other missing one is this...

Ok thanks very much for those...will install when i get home, also is there a way to get direct3d on it? im trying to run a screen recording program(for games) and it says i need that enabled

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

Unfortunately, I don't know what Direct 3D is, so I don't know where you would get it from.

K just loaded up win7 again, everything seems ok but when i startup i get a popup box saying "The AMD VISION Rngine Control Center is not supported by the driver version of your enabled graphics adapter. Please update your AMD graphics driver, or enable your AMD adaper using the Displays Manager"....any idea what that is or how to fix

[Paul_Tikkanen]

OK...what I would do is this...

Go to the AMD website at the link below.

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx

Run the Mobility Radeon Driver Verification Tool, and it should direct you to the latest driver for your notebook's graphics system.

Awesome, thanks for all your help, that fixed that issue as well as the direct3d issue too

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

I should have thought of that option sooner. 

I am always in the mindset of "you can't use the graphics drivers directly from the mfr's website," because you can't with notebooks with Intel/AMD switchable graphics, but you can with AMD/AMD.

HI mk24:

Thank you for your inquiry.

I understand that you reformatted the hard drive  and now you get no bootable device on startup.

I am sending you a link to a document on " Resolve Boot Device not found error message."click here.

If  your computer was built before 2008 and this document is not applicable,  please reply back with the exact model of computer.

Hi Paul,

I'm hoping you can help me as well. I'm a novice to a clean installs.  I've done simple recoveries with no issues.  However, I fear I'm in a different league now.

I too am getting a "No bootable device" error after having wiped the hard drive and attempted to reinstall WIN 7 from DVDs I burned utilizing the Recovery Mgr prior to the wipe.  

The install appeared to be successful until it got stuck on the HP logo after reboot.  I left it there for a couple hours in hopes that it was just taking that long. Yes, I'm a optimist 🙂  

I finally shut it down and turned it back on only to get this black screen.  I proceeded to change to boot order back to hard drive, and thought that would fix it, but no luck there.  I've even tried reinstalling via the different options, i.e. System Recovery, Factory Reset, Min....

I've also run tests on the hard drive and memory, and both passed.  Moreover, my BIOS options do not include "Secure Boot" or any mention of UEFI. 

Not sure what's going on.  Any suggestions?  Any help is truly appreciated 🙂
