Default Boot Device Missing after opening up Yoga

I had to open up my Yoga 13 to replace the yellow power plug. After I put it back together I immediately get the following error message:
Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed
Insert Recovery Media and Hit any key
Then Select Boot Manager to choose a new Boot Device or to Boot Recovery Media
I assume that I somehow managed to unplug the power or connection to the SSD but I cant find any lose cables.
Please advice. Thank you.

When I click on F2 and look in the setup it says that no hard drives are detected, but I got two SSDs in the system.

HELP!!! Boot Device Missing!! Hard Disk Error!!!

I turned on my laptop and it said "Boot Device Missing" (it said Hard Disk Error sometimes) so I went in to the systen diagnostics and did a memory test (which I passed) and Hard Drive Check. I heard that if you pass the hard drive check you can fix this problem, but it said SMART Check and Short/Long DST was not available. I also went to the bios and I changed the settings to defaults (F9) and saved and exit (F10), tried shutting the laptop down, removing all the CD, USB, everything, and turned it back on, but those didn't fix the computer. I also watched some videos on Youtube that you can unscrew the bottom part and check the hard drive but I couldn't find where to unscrew and look for the hard drive. Is there any way that I can fix this without sending it to repair because I need to use this laptop everyday.

Sounds like the hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If not a retail laptop SATA hard drive can be used.
Your Maintenance & Service Guide shows what size hdds you can use.Also shows how to replace- or check connection for secure fit before replacing.

[SOLVED] Need help setting default boot device in bios

I have two harddrives S0 and S1 my windows partition is on S0 and my archlinux and grub is on S1. The problem is that I can't set the default boot device to S1 only S0. I have to F8 everytime I start up. Is there a way to set S1 as my default boot device. I tried searching this on google but I couldn't find any relevant posts
Thanks,

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I have never heard of the term "S0" and "S1" for drives. Perhaps you mean sda and sdb.
Go into the BIOS, choose your equivalent of "Hard disk priority", move the drive that you want to boot first above the rest of the others, and then exit by saving the settings (usually F10). That should do the trick. Alternatively, you could open up the case and move the SATA cables around, but be careful if you use "sdx" name conventions in /etc/fstab.
Thanks for the reply
I made up S0 and S1 for simplicity. sda and sdb makes more sense I suppose.
My BIOS does not recognize sdb in the priority menu, I'll try moving the SATA cables.

Boot devices broken after Windows 8.1 installation

Hey guys, I work for an IT company and am having some troubles after installing Windows 8.1. I run an enterprise copy provided from my company, so I couldn't do the update, and used an ISO to perform the update manually.
After the update, I'm no longer able to boot to anything besides the Windows Boot Manager. This includes all CDs, DVDs, and USB devices. I also can't boot to my Linux installation, but that was expected to break during the upgrade.
I have a computer with UEFI, I've disabled fast boot and secure boot. I've tried setting my bios boot to UEFI (which should work with GPT disks created with applications like rufus) CSM, and UEFI and CSM. When I try CSM, I don't have any boot options and
my computer gives me an error about trying all boot options and failing.
At this point, I can't boot to a USB CDROM, or any of my live USB disks. I have created both legacy boot disks and UEFI boot disks to no avail. I have tried resetting my BIOS to factory defaults.
Advanced startup settings doesn't give me an option to boot from a device any more like it used to either, so that's out of the question. I can't even wipe my PC and start again because I can't boot to anything besides Windows 8.1.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
Edit
Also, booting to recovery doesn't work. I have a recovery disk that I created, but I can't use it because I can't boot to recovery (on Samsung, F4 at boot) to apply the image.

Hi,
In Windows 8.1, you need to use the tools available inside Windows 8.1 to boot to a DVD or USB drive.
Please open PC settings and click Update & Recovery, and choose Advanced Startup option.
You can refer to these:

Audio device missing after wakeing from sleep modeOptions Mark as New Bookmark S

I have an HP Pavilion a1253w. I just installed Win7 home premium 64bit. I had to do "Custom" install as I was upgrading from XP. I also had to change boot sequence to DVD drive to get it to load. (Win 7 installation disk instructed this) I tried to do the easy transfer but it was a mess. Reinstalled win7 (Didn't have to change boot sequence this time). Both times I installed win7 the sound card was not found. Just the "Unknown Device" with the yellow triangle. After windows update the device shows up and I have sound. Now (only after re-install) when the pc goes to sleep when I move the mouse nothing happens, I have to hit a key on the keyboard. When it wakes up, there is no sound card listed. When I do a restart, the sound card is there, and all works well. I know most would say "Just don't have it sleep". This is my son's PC and he always forgets to turn it off. I have external speakers hooked up the monitor is an HP vs17e it has built in speakers but I am not using them.
Now I know there is a lot to read and take in, just trying to put as much info as possible to help you all help me.

Nobody out there has any suggestions, opinions, or anything?

NIC device missing after restoring image

I am using ZCM 10.3. I've created an image of a Win7 Enterprise HP5103
netbook. When I restore the image to an "identical" 5103 I find that the NIC
has disappeared. If I check device manage the ethernet adapter appears
under other devices. If I reinstall the driver, allowing it to search and
automatically install, it restores the NIC.
I can't figure out why the NIC just isn't there immediately after restoring
the image.

IPhoto events missing after opening on Maverick

I have an iPhoto library on an external drive. When opening the library using Lion OS iPhoto '08 v 7.1.5 (378), I can see all the events. But if I open the library using Maverick iPhoto v9.5.1 (902.17), I only see a few events and those events only contain videos. Do I need to convert the library because of the version difference in iPhoto application?

You can not open the same library with iPhoto '08 and iPhoto '11 - the library structures are totally different and incompatabile
So you post is confusing
But yes you do have to upgrade a library to use it with iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x and it will no longer be able to be used by the earlier version

Solaris 10 installation says I changed boot device when I didn't

Hello,
I'm new at Solaris 10, and have been trying to do a net install with Solaris 10 8/07 (127111-11, s10s_u4wos_12b) on
a brand new (but older version of Solaris 10, which is now wiped out) V245 Sunfire.
When it comes to setting up the disk for installation, I have tried a couple of different things, but all seem
to result in
"Warning: Different Boot Device
Because you have changed the boot device (where the root ('/')
file system will be created) from its previous location, you
must re-layout your disks to sync up file systems. "
So -- I have tried manual layout, auto layout (following is what I want) -- and the first
screen tells me that c0t0d0 IS my boot device!
Customize Disk: c0t0d0
Boot Device: c0t0d0s0
Entry: Recommended: MB Minimum: MB

Immediately after the "remote server" and next screen, it says:

Then it suggests going back and changing the default for EEPROM -- but -- does not allow me to go back!
At this point it appears to be installing. But it just sits at the timeline screen
"Solaris Initial Install

MBytes Remaining: 3772.80

Forever.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks for any clues!!!
- Judy

Well, actually I don't have a console directly plugged in -- so I only have the secure console server
access, which seems to lock me into the single window mode where the installation stalls.
I left it going all weekend and it still stalls immediately when the installation is
supposed to begin (the "solaris initial install" screen with the percent completed bar at the bottom).
So I am unable to access the system (ctrl-c, ctrl-z do not seem to have any effect) other than
the installation guide interface. How do I get past this problem? Is it something to do with
when I turned off the firmware that keeps popping up the DHCP message (I'm not going to have
this machine's IP dynamically assigned)??? Is there something in the firmware that I need
to set???
Thanks again for help!

Laptop stopped booting due to EFI boot device problems [SOLVED]

Hi,
I'm writing this from my old laptop. My Lenovo U330 touch will not boot. When I turn it on it states that 'default boot device is missing or boot failed'. It used to go to gummiboot and there were Linux and Windows boot options.
I can boot from an Arch USB drive and chroot but when I try to reinstall gummiboot or grub I get errors:
#gummiboot --path=$esp install
#failed to check filesystem type of install: No such file or directory
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=$esp --bootloader-id=grub --recheck --debug
#grub install error failed to get canonical path of `'
On this laptop there are various partitions for EFI and a small Windows 8 partition.
I guess there is some problem with the $esp
It should be /dev/sda2 and / is dev/sda6. All seem to be present and correct with fdisk -l, however, for some reason there is a boot flag on /
I've tried to sort it out for a few hours now. Please if anyone can help that would be amazing.

This is a pretty ridiculous suggestion. It may not be production ready and it may not be the best choice for the user, but it has nothing to do with the problem at hand.
@OP, are you literally typing:
gummiboot --path=$esp install
If so, $esp is a variable. So in your case you would need to set esp=/boot. But gummiboot's default --path for install is actually /boot. So you should only need to do:
gummiboot install

Getting an error 'Cannot open Boot device' while trying to install Solaris

Hi,
We were trying to install Solaris * on a Sun Sparc system and the CD rom drive does not seem to get recognised. When we try booting from cd rom we get an error 'Cannot open boot device' .
This server was up & running and we were trying to remove a hard disk that had failed and modified the vfstab script . After that the system failed to even boot up. So when we tried reinstalling the OS we are running into this problem.
Am new to this technology ...And any help would be greatly appreciated. .....
Thanks

Cdrom drive must be scsi device 6
I assume you are running < boot cdrom> at the ok prompt
also at the ok prompt run the command <probe-scsi> (without the angled brackets) you need to see the following:
Target 6
Unit 0 Removable read only device TOSHIBA XM.......bigpileofnumbers
If not, check the cdrom drive and the cdrom inside
hope this helps

Inaccessible boot device after splitting windows 8 partition

Originally my Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 14 came with windows 8 64bit, I upgraded it to windows 8.1. Later I decided I wanted to do a dual boot. The windows8OS partition was about 400GB so I split it using AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro Edition 5.1. The process didnt work, now I keep getting a BSOD "inaccessible boot device" and keeps restarting. All it accomplishes is restarting. How do I fix this problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcome to the forum!
Generally failures during a partition resizing are not fixable. The easiest repair would be to just re-install the operating system and resize the partition during the process or just restore the hard drive back to its original condition from a recovery disk or image file. Hopefully you have such options available.
If by chance you were successful in resizing the partition and the machine won't boot correctly then try using the Boot Corrector or MBR Repair feature of your partitioning software. After a successful resizing, the Master Boot Record (MBR) sometimes needs to be updated or repaired in order for the computer to boot successfully.
In addition, when setting up a computer for dual or triple booting Windows operating systems you generally install the older version of Windows first then the newer version. Here is link to a Microsoft article on the topic that you may find informative.........

Dual Boot Arch & Mac OS X(Boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds)

I was trying to Dual Boot Arch & Mac OS X on my new Mac book pro, I followed the steps (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MacBookPro)
Dual Boot (Arch & Mac OS X)
Two possibilities:
- Install Bootcamp, resize the Mac OS X partition
When Mac OS X installation is finished. Go on http://refit.sourceforge.net and download rEFIT (Mac disk image)
To install rEFIT, mount the rEFIT.dmg file (it is normally automatic).
There is an other way (refer to rEFIT documentation) but you can open a terminal then you copy /Volumes/rEFIT/efi/ to /
# cp -r /Volumes/rEFIT/efi /
To install rEFIT :
# cd /efi/refit/
# ./enable.sh
Now we can synchronized MBR with GPT partition table thanks to rEFIT so you restart your computer. You can see rEFIT, you press down key to access to the Partitioning Tool. You press y to accept.
Put your Arch Linux CD in the CD-ROM drive first then restart the computer. You can press C to boot from the CD or you can choose it in the rEFIT menu.
Now it is the typical Arch Linux installation.
So I burn the archlinux-2010.05-core-i686.iso to an blank disc on mac then restart the computer , press C to boot from the CD.
After choose to boot Arch linux and then I got this
Waiting for 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH-201005...
ERROR:boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds...
Falling back to interactive prompt
You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you finished /bin/sh: can't access tty;
job control turned off
[ramfs /]#
[ramfs /]#
Any ideas?
Thanks!

This line:

You need to make sure that's the exact name of your iso disc. If it's not, it isn't a big deal. I've run into problems on this with my arch USB drive.
Once you get to the [ramfs /]# prompt, type in:
mv /dev/disk/by-label/(insert name of the current cd here) /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH-201005
exit
It should then be able to boot from the cd
did:
mv /dev/disk/by-label/(insert name of the current cd here) /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH-201005
exit
shows:
ERROR: mounting was successful, but /bootmnt/isomounts file doex not exist.
Then I checked:
cd /bootmnt
ls
archlinux-2010.05-core-i686.iso
exit
shows another problem /boot/init does not exist
exit
kernel panic!

Can't detect boot device after factory format to new HDD

First off, I have an HP Pavilion G6 that I purchased in December 2012. Yesterday I decided to get a new HDD to upgrade it and start fresh. It's a 1TB SSD+HDD hybrid by Seagate. It installed without a hitch, and I used my HP recovery CDs to do a factory format of the disk.
It finishes, reboots, but instead of rebooting to the HP Windows 8 setup screens, it goes to what looks like Windows 8 safe mode with a box containing the date, time, and it says something along the lines of "HP diagnostics driver installation" with an OK. Clicking that or not makes it disappear, and there's a command prompt bar at the bottom left hand corner of the screen.
The screen changes to an HP screen that begins to install drivers. It finishes, and reboots to a black screen that says "no boot device detected, please install OS."
I ran a check of the drive and it's fine. I swapped my regular drive back in, and it loaded up fine. In fact that's what I'm using right now to type this.
What could be the problem here? The boot order was never changed in the BIOs. If it were the connector failing I doubt it would load the drive that's always been in the computer. Loading up the newly formatted drive in an external enclosure shows that Windows 8 is indeed on it, but on a 93GB partition even though the drive is 1TB.
I'm at a total dead end here and no one seems to know what to do!
This question was solved.
