When I turn the PC on the brand logo appears immediately with the black screen. The first recovery disc is in the rom and the sound of it spinning. Then a message EFI Network 0 for IPv6 (some numbers) boot failed.
Checking media [fail]. There is also a blue box; "Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed.
Insert recovery media and hit any key
Then select Boot Manager to choose a new Boot Device or to Boot Recovery Media.
When I do this(disc already in from the last attempt), the only options are:
EFI Network 0 for IPv6 (B8-88-E3-84-43-CB), and EFI Network 0 for IPv4 (B8-88-E3-84-43-CB)

After choosing either one, I get the message in the top left corner of a black screen: No bootable device--Please restart system
Any key I hit causes the message to repeat by the line, just like DOS. So I restarted the system in every way I knew of, only to get the same scenario over and over again. I don't know what to do about it, and I'm so unnerved about it. Someone please advise. I'll answer any questions I know the answer to, and try anything to save it. Please Pleaseplease??? Thank you for any consideration you give toward my dilemma. I am not a tech. Lissienne

I don't think I know exactly what you mean, but if I do, they didn't work. I didn't start asking around until I tried all I could do with the practically dead PC. I am not in my right mind about this thing. Mental problems is guess. Perhaps I didn't try those exact things, and perhaps you are real bored right now and would consider spoon feeding those options to me in case I don't understand them? Also, I've been told to reset partitions.? How would I do that on a computer that allows only what I've already said.
 
Do you know, how to enter the bios on you PC? If not, please post as much info about the hardware as you have. So far we don't even know, if it is a PC or a laptop.
If you know how to enter bios, please check., if the hard disk is still detected there and if it is selected as the first boot device.
