Bios not installed, device not found

I'm sure someone can answer this, but I can't. When booting, I get the message "bios not installed" and "device not found." Now, I know it doesn't pertain to the actual bios, but what exactly does it mean? And how do I get rid of the message?
AMD 3000 64
msi k8t NEO-FIS2R
Hitachi SATA 80gb (using via controller, not promise)
POWMAX 400
Diamond GF5200 128MB AGP
Kingston 2.5latency 512 (256x2) ddr400
Also, I built an ASUS version, not 64 but still AMD 3000, everything else is pretty much the same, and the Asus build smokes the MSI build. Anyone have an idea why?

HP Pavilion dv-4087CL Notebook receiving : Boot Device Not Found-Please install an operating system

My Duaghter is out of the country studing abroad. Her PC would no longer boot up so she took it to a support shop. They replaced her hard drive, fixed an over heating issue and reloaded her PC. Now she is getting this new error message and she is desparate to get this fixed. We have owned this PC for only 2 years. I am sure it is out of support.
HP Pavilion dv-4087CL Notebook receiving : Boot Device Not Found-Please install an operating system on your hard disk.
She took it back to the support shop and they upgraded her bios, but that did not fix the error message.
Please help! What can she do now.

Hi:
Normally that means the hard drive failed.
I know it was replaced but maybe the replacement drive went out too.
There is a hard drive diagostics tool your daughter can run in the BIOS.
I suggest she run it (enter the BIOS by tapping the F10 key as soon as she sees the HP welcome screen).
Then once in the BIOS, there should be a diagnostics menu..one for memory and one for the hard drive.
She should select the hard drive diagnostics application and see what it reports.
Then go from there based on what is reported.

My screen says boot device not found. Please install an operating system on hard drive. What could have caused this problem? Help!!!!!

Hi,
Can you post back with the following.
1. The full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook - see Here for a further explanation.
2. The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 32bit ).
3. Shut down the notebook. Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu. Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run a test on the Hard Drive. Post back with the details of any error messages.
Regards,
DP-K

Hi @Darren104
Welcome to the HP Support Community. I saw your post regarding the Boot Device not Found error message. This HP document Resolve Boot Device not Found Error Message will show you how to reset your BIOS. This will force the BIOS the look at the hardware and it might see your new hard drive. Another reason that it might not be seeing the hard drive is because there is no bootable operating system on the hard drive. You might need to look at taking it out and installing an operating system on it via another computer.

"boot device not found. please install an operating system on your hard disk error on Dm3 1030us

Hi
I have the following computer:
name: hp pavilion Dm3 1030us
serial number: {Removed for privacy}
product number: VM073UA#ABA
when i boot up my laptop it says "boot device not found. please install an operating system on your hard disk."
this laptop does not have a cd drive but I do have a external one. since it does not have a cd drive therefore they didnt give me a recovery cd.
It had Windows 7 on it.
Is there a way to get the issue resolved

You would have to call in to HP tech support ( 1-800-HP-INVENT) and have them order you some RCD's.

Installing update resulted in error message MS VCR80.dll not found, Apple mobile device failed to start

Can you help with error message on installing itunes on Windows XP: error message MSVCR80.dll not found. Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Error 7 Windows error 126.
Deleting itunes and reinstalling does not fix it.

Solving the iTunes Installation Problems in Windows
1. Apple has posted their solution here: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows- Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue.
2. If the Apple article does not fully resolve the problem for you, then try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - MSVCR80.

I did the recommended re-install to resolve the missing MSVCR80.dll file. This worked, but I am now stymied by two error messages: "Apple Mobile Device failed to start" and "Apple application support not found". How to overcome?

That worked, however I now get two error messages when I install I Tunes:
o Apple Mobile Device failed to start.
o Apple Application Support not found.
This were of course deleted in the recommended re-install procedure to resolve the dll file, but repeated uninstalls and installs simply bring up these two error messages with a recommendation to install I Tune again. Installing the new I Tunes version seems to be problematic per the discussion groups and has no simple solution. SHould not the Genius bar be able to resolve this at an Apple Store? Want to buy a new I Phone 5S, but this problem effectively stymies this.

See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
