Hi,
It is not a good news actually and it's a hardware problem. Please use the following article to check:
Good luck.

Hey Man, Its not a big issue. It is because of your new laptop doesn't support legacy support of other operating systems.
Dont worry
GOTO BIOS(GENERALLY BY PRESSING F10)>SYSTEM CONFIGURATION>LEGACY SUPPORT>"ENABLE" IT
THEN PRESS F10 TO SAVE AND EXIT.. NOW YOU CAN SEE YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM WILL WORK LIKE A CHARM
..
(INCASE OF ANY HARDWARE DAMAGE IT WILL NOT BE WORKED)
RAGARDS
THANK YOU

Then you must press F10 button, and you will be in BIOS menu settings.
Then do what Sol_Hemal told before, system configuration → legacy support → enable
Press F10 and select "yes" then your computer will reboot immediately, and... Voilà, all the problem solved.
Thanks Sol_Hemal I have solved my problem!

My screen shows :- no bootable device-- insert a boot disk and press any key, where as I don't the required boot disk. What should I do now?
