    I've had boot camp run a setup on my macbook pro, I have a disk from Dell that states "for reinstalling Dell Inspiron and XPS system software". I would not read the disk as I am still looking at the black screen that portrays the Above statement of "No bootable device --insert boot disk and press any key"
    my keyboard is inoperable at this point until I could do anything further with the above directions. This was my first time using a Mac and Boot Camp was a setup that I thought would help me become more well aquainted due to my history with windows. Could anyone be of assistance w/ my situation?

    ... I have a disk from Dell that states "for reinstalling Dell Inspiron and XPS system software".
    It sounds as if that disk is specifically meant to install the Dell's operating system for that specific computer. It is not a generic Windows installation disk. Microsoft has strict licensing requirements for Windows and I would be surprised if the Dell disk would be useful for anything other than the computer with which it was included.
    You need to buy a copy of Windows that is not machine-specific.
    I recommend you forget Windows unless you have a pressing need to use it. I can't think of any.

  • How to fix bootcamp error: No bootable device --- insert boot disk and press any key

    Hi everybody,
    It seems that I triggered a bootcamp "bug" that involve the malfunction of the partition hierarchy after the creation of a new partition.
    After some work I managed to get back again bootcamp in bootable partitions choice window, but if i select it and reboot the system
    i get this error:
    No bootable device --- insert boot disk and press any key
    I think something is wrong with the assignment of the bootable partition, maybe is looking for windows in the wrong partition.
    Any idea?
    OSX 10.10.1
    Bootcamp with Win 7

    I have an ISO image and I burned it to a dvd. I know how to boot back into my Macintosh HD. I just need help on finishing the Windows install. On my iMac it says I have a partition named BOOTCAMP.

  • How do i quit bootcamp when it say "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"

    Hi,
    How do i quit bootcamp when it say

    cuz i resraart my imac and the nextday i went to use my imac i just say mi that.
    Can you please help mi out ?

    Reboot holding down the Option key between the tone and the apple logo w/pinwheel.  When the boot manager gives you a selection of boot partitions, choose your Lion partition.  Once booted, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk > select your Lion partition.

  • When I turn on my iMac, it shows a black screen and says 'No bootable device - enter boot cd and press any key'.  Not sure how to fix this.

    When I turn on my iMac, it shows a black screen and says 'No bootable device - enter boot cd and press any key'.
    I'm not sure what to do, I did not recieve a cd with my mac to boot it up (I ordered it online).
    Also I can't find my harware serial number (I've tried many times to input what I thought it may be from my receipt).  I saw that I need this number to contact apple support, my 90 day complimentary support is still valid so I wish to contact them.
    I don't know much about apple products as this is my first apple computer so any information is helpful.

    Hold down the Alt/Option-key at startup of your iMac to get the Boot Selection screen.
    From that choose to boot into OSX.
    Once in OSX go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and reset your OSX to be the default.
    The new iMacs have OSX 10.7 Lion preinstalled and don't come with any CD/DVD anymore.
    Instead OSX Lion includes a new feature called "Lion Recovery".

  • TA21888 No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key how can i fix this problem to may desktop mac?

    No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key......thats the words always show every time i start may desktop mac

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Try starting your Mac holding the Option (Alt) key, so you should see all bootable devices on the screen. If you see the OS X volume, select it. After starting, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and choose the OS X volume.
    If you don't see anything, try holding the key after hearing the startup chime. If you still don't see anything, your hard disk could be damaged

  • HP Pavilion g6-2330dx. "No Boot Device. Insert boot disk and press any key" Memory test failed

    Hi. So I am trying to help a friend with her laptop. It's a HP Pavilion g6-2330dx.
    Product #: D1C01UA#ABA
    Serial #: [Personal Information Removed]
    Windows 8
    ADATA 4GB RAM
    Toshiba 640GB HDD from the looks of it.
    The laptop is unable to boot into Windows, so I suspect the hard drive. But I ran the hard drive test and it passed all the tests. The SMART test and both the short and long test. I ran the tests multiple times and it passed each time. I tried reseating the hard drive and still no go. I also removed the HDD and connected it to my desktop PC to see if it detects and it did. Ran the Windows 7 own HDD test and it passed.
    Currently, there doesnt seem to be any operating system at all on the HDD. When I check, there is a C: drive of ~90GB partition that is ~90GB free, but inside there are Windows files/folders. There is also a D: drive Recovery partition that says ~26GB with only ~2GB free, but when I go inside there's only ~350MB worth of data.
    So then I ran the memory test (in BIOS) and it failed immediately. I reseated the RAM module. I tried the other slot. It still failed. So is it safe to say the memory is the cause of this problem?
    Pressing the F11 key that is supposed to take me to the System Recovery only leads me back to the black screen with "No Boot Device. Insert boot disk and press any key"
    I even tried to install Windows 7 to see if it'll work. I was able to get the laptop to boot/read off the Windows 7. But when I click to install, it asks for a boot device driver or something like that.
    My friend doesn't have the recovery disk either. I guess she lost it.
    Anyway, is it as simple as replacing the memory or could it actually be the HDD (even though it passes)?
    EDIT: This is what the System Log in BIOS says
    0021           Time: 10/13/2014
    03F0           Time: 10/13/2014
    03F0           Time: 10/13/2014
    The date was the first time I ran the tests. I havent received those numbers (error codes?) since.
    EDIT: Just for kicks, I ran Memtest 2.11 just now (forgot I had the disc) and it immediately went red with thousands of errors, hah.

    Hi bghs,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a fantastic place to find answers and information.
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I understand that you were unable to boot into Windows,  and you suspected the hard drive and tested it, but it passed both short and long test.  With that being said and the fact that it also passed  leads me to believe the hard drive is fine.
    You tested the memory and it failed.  You tried reseating and swapping slots but they  still failed the test.
    I would test each card individual with the memtest to determine if it is just one or both cards that have an issue.
    When you installed it in another computer, you did see the recovery partition.  Once the memory issue is resolved, if you are still unable to boot into Windows, I suggest you do a recovery with the minimized image.   Here is a link to Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8) to assist you with that process.
    I hope this helps.

  • Problems with Bootcamp Assistant: no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key

    Hello Guys,
    I got a problem setting up Windows 7 on my recently bought 13" MacBook Pro (2,3Ghz Core i5).
    I used the bootcamp assistent to create a partition of 50GB on my Mac, everything is fine until now. I insert the Windows 7 disk and follow the instructions. But when I restart in spite of starting the installation of Windows 7, a black screen appears with a note saying "no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". To exit this screen I then have to restart my Computer again, holding down the alt-key. In the following window I can just chose my Mac-Harddrive to boot from, the partition is not shown.
    I used the software actualization tool to update to version 10.6.7 which is the most recent one i think.
    The Windows 7 CD I use is actually a burned one. My University is a member of the msdn academic alliance and therefore offers me to download microsoft software for my work. I stress out that this is absolutly legal, I will only be allowed to use the software unitl I finished my studyings.
    So as I said, I downloaded the Version of Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 (x64) on my computer and then burned on a DVD. I want to add, that the file I downloaded turned out to be an iso file. At first, I just burned this file on a DVD but since it turned out that i got the above mentioned message, I burned a second DVD with the actual files of the iso (with foldernames like autorun.inf, boot, bootmgr, bootmgr.efi, efi, setup.exe, sources support, and upgrade)
    I dont know if these details are of any relevance, but i guess it may be useful since I believe that the burning thing could cause the problems.
    I have already browsed the Forum for quite some time now, but I didnt find a case with the exact same problem that I have, so I decided to rather ask you for help now instead of killing my brain like I did before (and I dont really have a clue neither of Macbooks nor of Windows-Computers, its always try and error for me)
    I hope somebody can come up with some helpful ideas or a solution.
    If you need further details on my system or anything, please feel free to ask
    Thank you very much,
    David

    Apple Disk Utility won't do a proper job and won't work (and it varies, some can start the install but fails later) Has to be burned at 2X Reduced Burn Speed

  • Help with "No bootable Device -- Insert boot disk and press any key" problem

    Alright, I am on an Early 2011 17inch macbook pro.  I have removed the superdrive to install a secondary disk drive for mass storage, then replaced the original one with an SSD blah blah blah.  I do everything from the books, run bootcamp, make my USB windows 7 bootable in Bootcamp, go through everything and allocate 65gb towards windows.  I have tried 4 different USB sticks and 3 different ISOs.  Every time I try it, I get the same "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key".  I then have to hold down the power button, then restart, hold down option/alt key, and boot regularly into mac.  I also read that holding option/alt whilst starting the macbook pro will show the windows USB stick, well it never appears.  I dont know what I need to do, what I am doing wrong, but nothing is working.  I guess the last thing I have to try is buying a superdrive and burning ISO to disc then try that.  But I dont want to go out and spend more money.  Other people have gotten it to work just fine from USB, I dont know what I must do or what I am doing wrong...
    Open to suggestions and in desperate need of help.  Anything is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    How to install Bootcamp on a 2009 Macbook Pro that does not have a disc drive

  • Can't install Windows "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"

    I'm running OSX 10.9.3 on my Macbook Pro 13-inch, Early 2011 and trying to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp Assistant and I'm using a flash drive loaded with bootable copy of Windows 7 Ultimate (legal, if that makes any difference).
    Here's what I've been doing:
    1. Plug in my flash drive, then on Boot Camp Assistant, click "Install Windows 7 or later version"
    2. Set my Windows partition to 45GB and continue... so far so good...
    Then the problem:
    3. My computer restarts, goes to a black screen with the message "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
    The flash drive is still plugged in but is it not being recognized or something? Nothing happens when I press any keys.
    I can use OSX just fine by holding down "Alt/Option" on restart, but in my case what can I do to continue further with the Windows install? It's basically an empty partition as of now. Any help appreciated!

    Ive been having this problem and have been trying to figure out how to fix it for almost a week now.  I have a 2011 17" MBP with the superdrive removed.  Ive tried many different methods and many different methods to no avail.  If anyone can help, please do!
    xxzy, have you tried the KUNU method?

  • No bootable device --- insert boot drive and press any key?

    A while back I tried installing windows 7 on the iMac which is now running on Mountain Lion. Installing windows wouldn't work. I tried every possible option and tried so many times to get it to work but it wouldn't. Now I have another issue. I went to disk utility and have erased the partition that was created. Except everytime that I boot up my iMac, it tells me
    No bootable device --- insert boot drive and press any key?
    I have no idea how to get rid of that. I have to always hold down option so that I can choose my apple partition. I was reading online and people say that there is a problem with the Hard Drive, that Master Boot Record is currupt. How do I fix that? Would I need a new harddrive? I dont care if I have to loose all my files, except I dont want to beleive that the only way to fix it is to reinstall Mountain Lion, because in the process of trying to install Windows 7 I reinstalled Mountain Lion like 3 times... So doubt that reinstalling Mountain Lion would fix this issue. Is something wrong with my Hard Drive and is there a away to fix it?

    Do a PRAM reset, open System Preferences > Startup Disk and select Macintosh HD

  • No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key, over and over again...

    I've seen a lot of discussions about "no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" but the answers in them don't seem to help me at all.
    from the begining...
    i was tryin to instal windows 7 on my 2014 iMac and after bootcamp prepared the iso on a flash drive, the computer restarted in the windows instalation screen and i chose the "BOOTCAMP" partition.
    After thi i got an error with a mesage that the partition wans not in ntfs, and a question if i wanted to format it. As i am recent to OSX but i was a windows user for quite a while i thought, ok there should be no problem about letting windows format this BOOTCAMP partition so i went ahead and did it. after this i stopped the process because at the moment i seem to recal that in the mac osx bootcamp help there was something about making sure to installing windows to the BOOTCAMP partition. So i canceled the process and restarted the iMac.
    Now i get the  "no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" message over and over.
    I've tryed restarting with alt, alt+cmd+p+r, alt+r, etc and allways get the same message.
    Just before tryin to install windows on a secondary partition had the iMac backup to an external drive on my airport express via time machine.
    Questions.
    are there any other ways to boot into OSX again, or after letting windows format the BOOTCAMP partition all is lost?
    If everything is lost, how do i boot to restore my time machine backup from the external drive?
    all help is apreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry about that I just realized that Boot Camp may have decompressed your ISO, We can't really do much because Boot Camp may have told the mac to boot  from the flash drive, but now your mac is most likely not being told to  boot from it. (You where able to boot from the drive before so I would  keep it all intact) Is your keyboard wireless (because it can cause your mac to not to register keys being pushed at the Macs start) which this may be preventing you from getting into recovery mode (Command-R) or the OS choosing screen (Option).
