Sounds like your computer is looking for a device to boot from and can't find one.

First step is to disconnect any temporary drives. Is there a USB flash drive connected? Is there an external hard drive connected? I have an external hard drive that if connected, will give me this error.

If this doesn't work, the next step is to go into your computer BIOS and set up the order of devices to try and boot from. If you are booting from a hard drive, it should be on this list.

Good luck,

Paul

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
Hi, ull need to check the boot device priority in ur BIOS which is accessable usualy by pressing the delete key at the start of the boot process. If everthing is correct there and yet it doesnt boot from ur hard disk, try changing it to boot from cd and check if it boots. If it does then i think either your hard disk is corrupted or your OS.

I've read this problem due to new hardware interferences with desktop computers, all they had to do is change a few pins around on the harddrives.. since this is a laptop, and is quite difficult and dodgy to access the hardware, the only other suggestion is to reinstall windows with a recovery disk, or windows CD-ROM.

Hope this helps :)
