SOURCE: No bootable devices-strike F1 to retry boot,F2 for setup utillity

Is there a hard disk installed inside the computer? try reconnecting it.

The motherboard, the hard drive, or the connector could be faulty in this case.

Remember to unplug and remove battery if you open the laptop, the hard drive is in most cases in the bottom under a cover with few screws or in some dells its on the side with few screws and comes out from the side instead from the bottom.

No bootable devices = the hard disk appears empty, either Windows was corrupted or the hard disk has died.
Reinstall. If the install fails to complete or the problem comes back the hd is dead = replace it.

SOURCE: my dell 5125 indicates internal

Try accessing setup utility and verify there if it still recognizes your hard drive, if not then that means your hard drive had crashed. If you have important files on the drive, you can try to recover it by going to a local service provider and have your files recovered, and of course you have to get a new hard drive for your dell.

Says my computer has no bootable devices--strike F1 to retry boot. F2 for setup utility. Press F2 and the computer advises no hard drive is present. There is a 100gb hdd installed.

But unfortunately the HDD is not detected in the computer.
Reset BIOS.
Check your hard drive connections.
Change the cables if it is a desktop.
If all these fail to resolve the issue, check the hard drive.

Check your BIOS, by pressing F2 and see if the hard drive is recognized. It should indicate the MFR next to the hard drive listing. If it's not there, then you might have a bad hard drive. If it is there, try re-installing the operating system with the set-up disk. You can also go to the Dell website, enter you service tag number, and get technical support for your particular laptop. It might have a recovery partition in the hard drive to recover to factory settings.

Won't turn on

No bootable device usually means that your hard drive has failed. It is either not connected properly to the computer or the drive needs to be replaced.

My dell inspiron b130. says no bootable devices and strike f1 to retry boot. f2 for setup utility. but nothing happens just repeats sentence over and over

It may be that your hard disk is shot - or its connectors may have come loose or slightly corroded. Remove the hard disk and then reseat it back again. Good luck.

Dell latitude C610

From the Bios, load all the default settings and then check the bios SATA port settings. If it is set to AHCI, change it to IDE to boot from Hard Drive. This should solve the problem
