Hope you can help, this is driving me mad. Halfway through installing a clean install of Vista, the install failed (i suspect due to a problem with the DVD being dirty as there is a large smudge on it) The PC now won't boot from the hard drive, giving the error 'missing bootmgr. press ctrl+alt+del to reboot' I thought I would be able to boot from the Vista DVD, but the DVD drive ...

Hello, I have a mac pro with 4 hard drives on it. 1 is osx, another with windows... I can't get my parallels 4 to create a workable vm. It acts like it's about to load, the window goes black with all that windows text on it, but it stops at "No Boot Device is available..." How do i configure my vm to work with my hd setup? thanks, r.

I just installed a new 160GB western digital hard drive into my desktop PC, and now when I try to boot it says "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"..... I read that the problem might be the priority of the boot devices in the Bios, but I went into the Bios boot priority and my hard drives werent there, just my floppy drive and my...

I've seen this similar problem posted before but none matched my specific issue. Got a free Dell Dimension 4700... replaced the HD with a new 80 gig, popped the Dell CD in the DVD drive and -- TADA. "No boot device available." I can get into BIOS and do all sorts of fun stuff. Rearrange the boot order, see that the BIOS identifies the HD (on SATA) and DVD (on IDE) both correctly. ...

Hello all, I am in the process of upgrading my dell dimension 9150 to windows 7. Problem is i can not get the machine to boot from the cd-rom. It is set to boot from the cd-rom in the bios but keeps comming back (selected boot device not available). I put a music cd in the drive and it works. Any help would be great. Thanks

After a LONG motherboard startup screen which would usually only flash for about half a second saying Press Del to runsetup etc. it would go to the loading screens. Now it goes to Reboot and ...

Hi Every one, I have the problem just mentioned in Windows 7 doesn't boot but unfortunately I cannot delete my partitions. I have a SATA 250HDD and I had an upgraded windows 7 from windows vista which I deleted after some problems with it. I then had problems reinstalling windows 7 from USB which at last was because the installation disk I used for the USB was corrupted. I found some article ...

Salut, le mien me faisait un truc semblable, il disparait du bios et du poste de travail si, après plantage je fais un simple reboot par la touche reset, sans réelle coupure de courant. Après plantage ou message d'erreur, je faisais Reset, power off, 5s, power on et là il réapparait ... Essaie de le tester avec Hdtune, le mien est complètement défectueux d'après ce logiciel... +++

Ich gehe davon aus, dass Deine Festplatte vom System nicht erkannt wird. Du musst die Einstellungen der Festplatten-Konfiguration im Bios auf AHCI-ENABLED oder noch besser, wenn es geht auf AHCI-COMPATIBLE umstellen da Du SATA-Festplatten verwendest. Gruß,

In bios you need to treat the new hdd as ide, not sata. Ide or pata, if it does raid, disable that as well. Even though the drive is sata bios will not see the drive that way unless you are using a raid array.

Also, when I unplug the new hard drive, the computer boots up perfectly on just the old hard drive. I also set the primary boot to the old hard drive and it still doesn't boot. When I try going into bios before boot with the new hard drive in, it doesn't seem to detect my new or old hard drive. Why? Should I be installing some driver or changing some setting in the bios before adding a...

Quote: And... It's a dell monitor that isn't recognized. Imagine that. As lame as this sounds, but at the time it wasn't, the VGA cable was faulty. Actually it was intermittent but with that computer, for some reason or another, it just didn't want to work for the BIOS settings. It was weird too because it wouldn't work for CD boot screens ...

No, it's a hardware (configuration) issue. Still waiting for root device means either there's no driver loaded for the drive controller or the BIOS settings are wrong (SATA not set to AHCI mode, doesn't apply in your case since you're using a PATA drive). for PATA devices you can try jumpering it as master and placing it at the end of the cable with no slave device connected. Make ...
