When this error arises, your PC can’t find its hard drive (or device) to boot from. Consequently, Windows doesn’t boot up. As Windows doesn’t boot up, fixing the No bootable devices found the issue isn’t especially straightforward. Users will usually need to enter the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) or open the Command Prompt from Windows 10’s Advanced Startup Options menu to resolve the issue. You can access the Advanced Startup Options menu with a Windows 10 installation disk or recovery drive on USB stick. On some PCs, you can also access that menu by pressing the F11 key just after turning them on.
How can I fix the No bootable devices error on Acer and Dell PCs?
1. Enable Legacy Boot
2. Reset the primary boot partition
Note: Your PC won’t boot from USB drives if not configured to do so. To boot from a flash drive, you’ll need to change the boot order for it on the PC’s Boot tab in BIOS or UEFI settings. USB flash drive must be placed first in the boot order priority on the Boot tab. Also, note that the No bootable device error can arise when your hard drive isn’t first in the boot order. For example, the issue would arise on a PC configured to boot from CD drive that includes a blank DVD. Ejecting the DVD or selecting your hard drive as the first boot device would then fix the issue.
3. Run a Check Disk scan
4. Fix corrupted MBR
Those are some of the more probable fixes for the No bootable devices found error. If these fixes don’t resolve the error, however, there might be a hard drive hardware issue. In which case, you might need to check your HDD’s connection or get a replacement drive.
