1.Check your BIOS and make sure the drive is detected..
or
2.The problem is your computer is trying to boot from something other than the hard drive with the OS on it.
Remove any thumbdrives if you have any in.Check the floppy drive (if you have one in the computer) to see if there is a disk in there. Sometimes, the computer tries to boot off a floppy if there is one in the drive
or
3.Your hard drive probably crashed.
You will most likely need a new hard drive.

Operating system not found

hi goodner,

getting the error "operating system not found" means that the hard drive where the Operating System is installed (i.e. Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), Cannot be found by you BIOS upon the boot sequence.

When you turn the PC/Laptop, you normal see a screen that flashes flashes with screen that displays the ff:

Primary Master:
Primary Slave:
Secondary Master:
Secondary Slave:

The Primary master should have a value right next to it. If not, either the hard drive is faulty and needs replacement, cable is loose,

If you have a value to it and stil gets the same error the operating is corrupted and needs to be re-installed.

We tried all part replacements for dell vostro V13. but still the problem exists " No operating system found" what will be the cause? please help

When you receive the error, "No Operating System found". There could be one of two things wrong.
Either your hard drive with Windows properly installed is bad,
Or, you haven't installed Windows or the Windows installation is corrupt.

All you have to do is reinstall Windows using the discs provided to you by Dell and you'll be golden.
