    What to do if you get the "No bootable device" error?


    Hello! I need your help — maybe you have a solution.I have an Acer Aspire A315-59 laptop. On April 29th, it was working perfectly fine, but when I turned it on on April 30th, I received the message: "No bootable device."All attempts to fix the issue have been unsuccessful. I’ve tried everything I could find online, including attempts to unlock advanced BIOS settings — spoiler: that didn’t work. The only thing I haven’t tried is switching the boot mode from UEFI to Legacy, and there’s a reason for that: the BIOS doesn’t allow me to do it.In the Boot tab, the only thing I can change is Secure Bo

    Multi-bootable USB

    Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

    I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

    The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

    1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
    2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
    3. MemTest86+

    Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

    Booting from bootable media - error 'This device is not ready'

    Hi Kimneisha,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    The Device not ready error usually indicates a hardware failure. It could either be an issue with the bootable media or with the PC hard drive itself. I would suggest you to format the
    USB drive to NTFS and re-create the bootable media to see if it helps. Refer the article
    How to create Windows 10 installation
    DVD/USB flash drive Step-by-Step Guide     for the same.

    If the issue persists, it could be a PC hardware malfunction. I would suggest you to get in touch your PC manufacturer or a local technician to troubleshoot the same.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards,
