Bios :no bootable device detected: wha does it mean
- Thread starter shiv123
- Start date
I will assume that the windows 7 did not initiate - and that windows 8 is still available if you boot from the hard drive.
To make your CD drive function as a boot - Go into bios. Set the CD rom as the first boot option. Boot into the CD.
Assuming this fails - try booting from the CD on another machine - don't worry it won't immediately install windows 7. If the second machine boots off the CD - then nothing is wrong with the CD.
So - if the first step fails and the second step succeeds - you have a bootable disk that will not function in your laptop drive. Is the disk actually a DVD? I thought windows 7 was on a DVD format - but I could be wrong.
Regardless, You may want to use the following MS option:

to use a USB drive with the windows 7 ISO.
Best of luck.
