No boot device available

Welcome to Tom's Hardware Forums!

Repeatedly press F2 during startup. Then make sure that the boot sequence is set in the proper order. HDD, DVD. Activate the SATA port into which the HDD is connected. Now re-boot and install the Operating System.

On a typical Dell, U can simply go to F12 menu (tap F12 key many times at the Dell logo screen), it's gonna take to boot device menu. Choose the one option that mentions ur CD/DVD ROM (it might even say USB CD-DVD ROM drive), but that's ok.


U may wanna also check HDD is recognized by BIOS. if not u better look at the HDD connection to power & data, & from HDD to MB (the same data cable).

If BIOS doesn't recognize it & connections are good, try a different data port on the MB.

Get access into the BIOS see below the option called MANTAINANCE, once you select it there are two options (load default, event logs) now select load default option and click continue restart the pc and you will never get that error again i've solved this two time by applying this method and it's work for me...
Thanks.
