All the dozens and dozens of videos showing how to fix " no boot device found " got me absolutely no where and solved nothing!

Guys, thank you so much for this video. I bought a refurbished Optiplex 3050 and straight out replaced and installed dual drives (nvme m.2 and 2.5 ssd) and boot up can't find either drives. I successfully installed Win11 on it via usb boot and I wouldn't have been able to figure it out if it weren't for your video here. Thank you so much and much appreciated for the work and contents you put on your channel. Stay safe.
You are so very welcome! Glad we could help

You're welcome
I was watching a lot of videos and couldn't understand them well, but you can explain it clearly. Thanks to you I did not go to the repairman for my computer you saved my day.Thanks a lot😉👍
Glad to hear it 🙂👍
first, thanks for the video, but after all of this and passing all test, my dell inspiron 13 7000 series still boots straight to support assist saying no boot devices found. Any insight on this?
Sorry to hear that:( If you have already tried adjusting the settings in bios and it passed the test then you may need to reinstall the operating system. Sometimes Windows gets corrupt and you need to start from scratch with a fresh install of windows. Here is a video on how to do that:
ruclips.net/video/TElCJDbKdKk/видео.html
You portion of the video that shows how to install a Hard Drive and just watch the second half on how to install windows. Let me know if you have anymore questions!
I tried every other video and none was helping, but this one was finally the solution!
I think it was when I changed from raid-on to AHCI bc the other options were already done (or unable to change).
Once again, thank you
You're welcome
I used legacy mode for years. Today, my PC just refused to boot: No boot device found, both SSD and HDD.
I /fixboot in bootrec, fixed MBR partitions, reassigned letters to disks, every single thing and nothing worked.
I found this video, went back to UEFI boot and... It worked? I have no idea why and how, but thank you so much.
Glad it helped!!
QUESTION: I have a Dell Optiplex 390. Whenever I select UEFI, it tells me there is no bootable device available. Also, "Advanced Boot Options" is not available in the BIOS. So, there is no way to take any checkmark out of the "Legacy" option. Is there a way to update those BIOS or fix that? Also, when I select "UEFI," there is nothing to select for "Booting." I have heard Windows is supposed to take care of that. And the computer comes back with a message saying it tried to do that "Automatically." The computer tells me to select an option in UEFI and save the settings. The problem is there is nothing to select.I am using Windows 10 Pro. Can you please help me out. Is there any way to make it so this Dell Optiplex with the LGA 1155 A00 Motherboard can use an SSD with GPT UEFI? Or does this computer have to remain in MBR Legacy mode?
What happens when you run the diagnostic? Does it read the SSD as being there? Also does it pass the diagnostic? You may have to fix the setting then reinstall Windows. For Windows 10 to function properly it needs to be set on UEFI with secure boot on. As for the boot order Windows should do that automatically but in rare cases you may need to add your SSD as a boot option manually.
@@EggheadFixers I made sure the SSD was GPT when I cloned the MBR HDD. The PC "attempted" to load the UEFI features "Automatically" according to the computer. However, it would not work.
I then selected the option to run the diagnostic. This was a UEFI type of graphic menu. The SSD and HDD were recognized, and so was the RAM and everything else. All of the features of the PC successfully passed the diagnostic test.
Unfortunately, nothing would work. The SSD simply would not allow the SSD to boot up as long as the SSD was in GPT.
As a result, I reformatted the SSD. I formatted it into MBR and cloned the HDD again. This time the SSD booted properly - but only in "Legacy" mode. Nothing would allow "UEFI" mode to be selected.
The Dell Optiplex does not have the ability to choose "Advanced Options" or "Secure Boot" in the menu. You can choose "UEFI," but as a result of not having the ability to select "Advanced Options," you cannot select the option "Not" to run in "Legacy" mode.
It seems as though the Dell Optiplex 390 with the LGA 1155 motherboard does not have the ability to boot a GPT HDD or SSD.
@@michaelzoran Ya it may incompatible. Also I believe with GPT HDD you need it to be set on UEFI so if you can only boot in legacy that is most likely your problem. What operating system are you trying to install?
@@EggheadFixers Windows 10 Pro was cloned over to the SSD.
@@michaelzoran Ya if its Windows 10 Pro then it definitely needs to be set on UEFI.
Everyone please donate to her thank you
Thanks for the support!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH, I almost miss my online class, thank you
You're welcome!!
Thank u so much, u don't know how much helpful this video was for me. You're a life saver ❤️❤️
I'm so glad!
Thank God that there r still people on this planet with a heart and everything about them isn't about a dollar u Miss win the heart of gold medal 🌷👍👏👏👏💯😚
Thanks😃
I have an older PC, do you have any tips for that? (Inspiron 15)
Bios will most likely look different but if you run into any options not being there just skip to the next step. Some of the older models Dell are set up more simple so you may not have all the extra options. They are also easier to work on so you have that on your side. Let me know if you have any questions:)
I thought I had to go to the Repair store because my laptop got wet and reboot eroor, but this video saved me. I'm really thankful to you in my heart 🥰🥰.Thanks a lot
You're welcome!!
Wow 👏👏 you are a a life saver. The AHCI Setting worked wonders.. Thank you
After 'diagnostic' the result is 'msg: hard drive- not installed' what next, Miss? Help me, please.
Sorry to hear that☹ First I would try what we call reseating the hard drive which means unplugging it and then plugging it back in. Then rerun the diagnostic. If that does not work then its most likely that you need a new hard drive. Sometimes when a hard drive really dies the motherboard doesn't read it as being installed. Here is a video on how to replace your hard drive and install an operating system:
ruclips.net/video/TElCJDbKdKk/видео.html
Let me know how it goes:)
This didn't work for me. I did everything that was on the video and still get the same error. Ran the diagnostics and it didn't find any hardware errors. I'm a little stuck now.
Sorry to hear that:( If all that hardware passed the diagnostic then the next step would be to try reinstalling the operating system. Usually this problem is caused by a problem with the operating system. Here is a video on how to do that:
ruclips.net/video/TElCJDbKdKk/видео.html

Under Secure Boot Enable it gave me an error when trying to select Enabled, it gives error Secure Boot is not allowed if Legacy Option ROMs are enabled.
Please help
@@Nandasmith9899 so go to advanced boot options and off it then u will be able to do it
@@ansoooon thank you
Thank you! Ive changed these settings before but only temporary fixed it. I tried these settings and worked like a charm. 😊
Glad to hear it!!
I was about to go crazy😭😭 this video really helped me from pulling my hair out of my head. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! It worked ☺️
You are so very welcome
My laptop just keeps turning off after a certain amount of being on… I’ll do a few of these moves then off
I would check your Windows logs to see if it is recording an error at the time it’s giving you the
problem. You can access your Windows logs by going into File Explorer, right-clicking on this PC,
clicking on manage, expanding the folder Event Viewer, and expanding the folder Windows Logs. I
would check applications and the system and look at the date and time to see if there are any errors
logged for when you were having the no sound issue. You are looking for errors that have a red or
yellow symbol next to them. If you see one that fits the right time. Click on it and you can google the
Event ID and source for solutions to this error.
May God bless you for posting this. Helped my computer! Good to have you help. Ever so grateful.
You're welcome!
Omggggggg thank you so much madam......wish I could hug and tell how grateful I am...the laptop I'm using for my classes is of my father...if he knows that isn't working he'll kill me....🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Glad we could help!!!
When I plugin usb , it says no boot devices found. How does installing windows 10 could help if it couldn’t find the boot devices ?
Have you tried booting off it from the boot menu? This video shows you how to do that. you can skip the portion on installing a hard drive:
ruclips.net/video/TElCJDbKdKk/видео.html
Also does it make a difference if you switch the setting in BIOS between UEFI with secure boot on then to legacy with secure boot off like it shows in this video?
Did u figure it out?
I can't seem to enable secure boot cause it says Secure boot is not allowed if the system is in Legacy boot mode :(
Then skip to the next step in the video...What happens when you run the diagnostic? Does everything pass?
@@EggheadFixers I tried it again and it worked! Thank you!
@@jiro4486 Excellent!! 😃👍
life saver, thank you so much. this problem has been bugging me all afternoon, glad i was able to figure out this issue and get my PC back to normal 😁
Glad it helped!!
QUEEN!!! YOU SAVED ME MY DELL LAPTOP!! THANK YOU.
You're welcome 🦸
I’ve been hitting the F2 button for like half an hour help 😭
Maybe go to the screen it usually begins at were it tells u no boot device found or whatever and click f2 once
Trying hitting F12 at startup and then selecting setup. Also make sure you hitting the function key as soon as you hit power. Let me now how it goes:)
@@Tiffany-jk4vl Good suggestion!!
did you press the power button first lol
You're welcome:)
when i go to enable secure boot my pc says “Attention! Changing this setting may prevent your operating system from booting or require a reinstall. Are you sure you would like to continue?” i am afraid to continue because i think it means reinstall windows and i believe that would cost money and im broke lol
If you worried about it then you skip to the next portion of the video. What happens when you run the diagnostic? Does everything pass?
@@EggheadFixers yes. everything passes but im still really confused
hello,
i recently bought my dell inspiron 3650 used in november. in january, i started hearing squeaking noises coming from the pc. that was when i started getting errors that no hard drive was detected but then it continued to boot and work fine just a little slow. it started giving me boot loops that would last about 5 minutes saying it was diagnosing my pc and attempting repairs until eventually i couldnt boot it anymore. when it brought me to the automatic repair screen, i decided to reset it and remove all my files and i chose the option to reset if i was recycling the pc which i wasnt by accident. i finally took it apart and looked at the hard drive which i was 99% sure the problem was and i disconnected it and reconnected it but that didnt do anything so i took it back out and left it with my computer apart for a week or 2 just giving up on it. today, i decided to try one more time and i ran the diagnostic when you press F12 and it said everything was fine, including the hard drive. before that the bios said that there was no hard drive but after i did the diagnostic for 6 hours or so (the long one) i went back to bios and it showed my hard drive. this is where my problem is now... everything is functional according to the diagnostics i did. the hard drive is there and working. i still cannot boot up windows. it just brings me to the automatic repair screen and says that it didnt start correctly. please help. thank you
@@EggheadFixers everything passes but im still stuck on the automatic repair loop. none of the options worked ive tried all of them multiple times.

Nothing is working for me. I tried this and all it does is just restart over and over again with only the dell logo and the loading bar. What can I do? I'm on windows 10.
Sorry to hear that:( Did your computer pass the diagnostic? If it did all pass have you tried reinstalling the operating system?

Tried the windows 10 settings in this video but it kept getting an error message for secure boot being enabled. So I went back to disabled it yet I'm still stuck with the Dell logo where it doesn't want to boot beyond that. Hard drive still reads fine as I'm able to pull up all filled when connected to another computer.

Hello, what would be the next step to take if none of this resolved the boot loop? No errors on system assessment, tried booting in all modes etc. Still stuck on boot loop. Would I possibly need to get ahold of a windows install disk?
Yes reinstalling Windows would be the next step. Here is a video on how to make a Windows installation disk:
ruclips.net/video/k7yf0BrU-z0/видео.html
Here is a video on how to reinstall Windows:
ruclips.net/video/TElCJDbKdKk/видео.html
(You can skip the portion of the video on how to replace a hard drive)
Thanks, really interesting video! Any advice on further steps if it still can't find a boot device (or even sequence 😭) and there's no hardware issues?
What happens when you run the diagnostic? Does everything pass?
I’m having the same issue. I bought a new hard drive with windows 10 already installed and plugged it in. Upon booting the computer I get the same message “no bootable devices found.” So then I rerun the diagnostic and it doesn’t find any issues (before I replaced the hard drive it listed the hard drive problem). So the new hard drive seems to be working however I’m not sure why the computer won’t boot correctly. Any advice? Thank you!
