Question about ASUS Eee PC 1001P Netbook

Asus eee pc 1001p - hard drive failure?

Computer was working fine. I try to turn it on today, and it says "Reboot and Select proper Boot Device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot Devise and press a key." I tried pressing "F9" to enter the "recovery mode," but it doesn't work. Did the hard drive crash?

When you reboot, go to BIOS, restore factory BIOS settings. If that doesn't help, you'll need to reinstall your OS.

Go to your BIOS by pressing the delete key as your computer boots up.
Find boot disk priority and set first boot device to your hard drive.
I suggest you unplug any flash drives as you boot the laptop.

Hi you will need skillful guy to restore your PC Operating system if you had reformatted your hard drive. To restore your O/S without having your recovery CD is to ask from your vendor a copy of it and re-install again. You can do it by having an external DVD driver, change the boot sequence in start up and presto you can reload again your O/S and other applications. Don't forget btw to load the driver in order your PC to work properly.

Replaced hard drive and am getting a "Reboot and

Hi seqhdha,

The reason why you're receiving that meesage is the system is not detecting any bootable device on the computer or it is boot from a media that is not bootable (CD/DVD/USB). To fix this problem if you already installed the Operating System you can change boot priority setting and select the Hard Drive as the First Boot Device however, if you havent install the Operating System you need to select the CDROM as the First Boot Device and insert the Windows Installer.

Here are the steps on how to access the BIOS Page.

1. Restart the computer and while it is booting tap DELETE button.

2. On the Bios page look for the BOOT tab then set the priority to either Hard Disk or CDROM depends if you already installed the OS or not.

3. Follow the instruction on how to install the Operating System

4. Rate me if this helps so i can help others.

Thanls for using Fixya.

Emachine wants to: " reboot an select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device an press any key " . I dont have a boot media or know what is the proper doot device....

The proper boot device is your hard drive, when you boot hit F2 while it is booting up and it will bring up the screen to change boot devices select the hard drive and save the settings and this should work if it dont it is possible that your hard drive has bit the dust.

Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media

its basically telling you that your master hard drive with O/S installation cannot be found in the booting system...Check if your master HD is not corrupted and see if your O/S still exist or maybe wiped out..
