A technician is not able to boot to Windows OS. A “Non-bootable device found” message
appears on the screen when the computer restarts. Which of the following is the MOST
possible cause of the error message?
A.
MBR is corrupt on the HDD.
B.
HDD is set to Cable Select.
C.
The operating system is corrupt.
D.
A bootable HDD is not recognized in the BIOS.
“No Bootable Device Available” means your computer can’t find your hard drive. Aka: Hard Disk or HDD. The hard drive is where data is stored on your computer (files, programs, photos, everything), this includes Windows or whatever operating system you have installed.
Since your computer “can’t find” your hard drive (HDD)… it can not boot (start) Windows or other OS…and you are stuck.
Hard disk drive – HDD
