  1. "No bootable device" message after failed hard disc replacement


    I am attempting to get my wife's Dell Inspiron 660 back in service after a hard disc failure. A 3TB Barracuda SATA drive was purchased and installed in place of the failed 1TB. The disc is recognized by the BIOS as is the optical drive. However, the Windows 10 iso disc which was burned is not being read. I also tried a couple of Linux liveCD's which have worked on other computers, and they are not being read. Pre-boot assessment software was run and no errors were reported for either the replacement hard disc or the optical drive. The bootpath reported by the pre-boot software is to the MBR of the hard disc, which doesn't exist since it neither formatted or blessed with an operating system. I've reset the BIOS and CMOS to the default state without changing the behavior. Any suggestions on getting this machine working again will be appreciated.

    :)

  2. No bootable disc

    My laptop won't start up and I am receiving the message no bootable disc. I do not have a bootable disc so I downloaded a Windows 10 install disc from Mocrosoft Support, however, when I loaded it on a thumb drive and tried to boot from it, none of the
    steps helped. I want something that I can boot from, restore windows and keep the files that are on the computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Failed Hard Drive - No Bootable Devices found!! Advice please!

    My SSD hardrive failed in my Dell Inspiron 15 laptop a few weeks ago with a "No Bootable Devices Found" error message at startup BIOS.
    I was hoping some of you have experience salvaging data in these type of situations.

    What I've tried

    • I tried loading Ubuntu on a thumb drive to try to access the hard drive -- no go. The drive did not show up in the devices list.
    • I tried reconnecting the hardrive drive from the labtop in case there was a faulty connection and to reset the drive, no go.
    • I tried using SATA to usb cable to see if I can clone the drive, but the drive is not being read. It shows the Cable interface is connected with 0MB connected to it.
    • When booting, I could not find the drive in the list. When I used ubuntu via USB, the usb did show up and was booted from.
    Questions

    • Does windows 10 have any security features which would prevent ubuntu from reading the hard drive?
    What Happened Prior To Failure

    • I was connecting a new vizio tv to the laptop via hdmi 2 when I noticed the drive began to be sluggish. Task manager showed 100 percent memory disk usage so I rebooted while it was in this state. Never got it running again. The initial boot a memory test ran and showed no errors were preset. The boots that followed showed no bootable devices found.
    Hard Drive

    • The Hard Drive in question is a LITEON SATA SSD 512 GB
    • Windows 10
    • Dell Inspiron 15
    I know this is a long shot, but figured I'd ask to see if I can somehow manually salvage the data. If I can't find a solution myself, I might have to send it off to a data retrieval company, which is very expensive. Any advice?
    Attached are a few error messages and the hard drive information.
