SOURCE: Hello, I have Sata HDD it

Have you gone into your computers BIOS settings to make sure that your HDD is configured and that it is recognized? My room mate has a computer that just "looses" it's HDD in the BIOS and forgets that it existed. To get into your BIOS, more than likely you'll hold down the "delete" key or the f12 or f10 keys when you power up the computer and it'll ask you if you want the additional settings options, or it'll just pop into your BIOS. You'll look through it (Be careful!) and on the 2nd screen most likely you'll see options to set a boot order. You'll want to make sure that your HDD is listed in here or else the computer is not looking for it to boot from. You'll probably want to have your floppy first, and CD 2nd, and leave your HDD for 3rd for booting options. Depending which version of Vista you're installing, it may not support RAID. Microsoft only saves that for it higher end/priced OS's that the corp's are willing to pay for so they feel like they're getting their money's worth.

Hello Sir, hi, try removing all usb devices on your Aspire, and then boot again, if the problem still persist, go to bios setup and look and see if the hard drive is present, if yes you need to setup windows again. The ASPIRE one later models now comes with a 120 GB hard drive but has an SD card/Flash module for a hard drive as well.

If this is before windows starts up. This could be your hard Drive. You will need to Follow these steps to find out.

First off Try to repair your windows. Somehow a virus may have deleted something windows needs to run. throw in the CD At selection menu after it loads Click repair and go from there and follow on screen instructions.
If that does not work Try the next steps
Try reinstalling your windows Operating system.
IF you want to back up files you should still be able to get them by hooking the hard drive up to a desktop computer or have a pro do it for you.
If your windows does not install after the second attempt to install windows or takes up to 10-30 minutes to load the windows selection then your hard drive is bad and you need a new one. This Problem is very common.

Re-seat the harddisk and reboot the computer. If the computer does not boot up then reboot andgo into the BIOS configuration to see if the BIOS detects the hard drive. If itdoesn't detect the hard drive then it could be faulty.Then the hard drive needsto be replaced in the computer/laptop, Windows installed and the computer orlaptop's device drivers plus your programs etc. to get a functioningcomputer/laptop again.

SOURCE: I get the following error message:

You computer is trying to boot from somewhere other than your hard drive.

Turn the computer off and when you turn it on, watch the screen for which key it says to hit to Change the Boot Order or Boot Sequence. Hit that key when you see the message or it will not work and you will have to reboot and try it again. Select the Hard Drive as your bood device and let it boot up. This is a temporary change only good for this boot cycle. You need to make a permanent change to the boot order.

To make a permanent change to the boot order or sequence, turn the computer off and watch the screen for which key it says to hit to get into the BIOS or System Setup. Hit that key when you see the message or you will have to restart and try again. Once you get into the BIOS or System Setup tab over to change the boot order or boot sequence. Normally the best sequence is to have the DvD/CD drive 1st and the Hard Drive 2nd. Just make sure when you boot the computer that you don't have a music cd or movie dvd in the drive or you will get an error message if it tries to boot from it. You want this sequence just incase you have problems with your hard drive, then you can put a repair disc or system disc in the dvd/cd drive and it will boot from it so you can try to fix the problem.

Aspire one keep saying no bootable device insert boot disk and press any key and I don't have a disk slot

You hard drive is missing from the system. Or, just does not recognize it. The obvious - Remove any USB devices like drives and any media from disc player. Its trying to load, but can't find bootable hard drive, CD, or USB... Remove the hard drive and reseat (reconnect). Check BIOS by pressing an F key during boot. Look on the screen for correct Function key. Might be F2 key. Verify BIOS recognizes the drive. It must be listed! There is no going forward if it's not. Check boot order and make internal hard drive first. Save and restart.

NO BOOTABLE DEVICE When the PC cannot see a boot file/disk on either the hard disk or floppy drive it gives an error message "No bootable device. Insert boot disk and press any key"
There may be a hard disk problem.
Check the BIOS to see if the hard disk is detected, if not open the case and re-seat the hard drive and also where it connects to the motherboard.
If it still gives this error message and the BIOS does not detect this hard drive, then the hard drive is probably faulty.

To get the computer operating again, install a new hard drive in your computer and then install Windows on this hard drive plus the computer's device drivers and your programs.

In this case you need to repair your OS. You need to insert the OS which is a bootable disk, in case of net book you need to connect a USB with OS loaded in it and select boot from USB in bios, for entering in bios you need to press the F 2 button while restarting the computer.

There is a loose connection between the hard drive and motherboard of the computer, that's why you are getting that message. You most likely need to take it to a computer repair shop so they can fix it.
