No bootable device - insert boot disk......​. after system recovery attempt

attempted system recovery and it errored out.  did not record the error message.  unplugged usb mouse and reattempted the recovery.  it seemed to be going ok and completed and rebooted to the message:  "no bootable device - insert boot disk....   further attempts to run another recovery end with this same message.  i suspect the recovery process formatted the hdd and then errored out leaving my laptop unbootable.  i have no recovery disks.  help.
system is hp G60 with windows 7 os.    would like info on if its possible to download recovery disks somewhere or any other solutions possible.

  • "No bootable device --- insert boot disk and press any key" after setting up Bootcamp

    Hi guys,
    I am trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp but after setting up Bootcamp and restarting the computer I get the error message "No bootable device --- insert boot disk and press any key".
    I use an iMac with a DIY Fusion Drive consisting of a 120 GB SSD and a 1 TB HDD.
    Since Bootcamp can only be installed on the HDD I believe disk1 is the interesting one. Here is the output of sudo gpt -r -vv show disk1:

    I have gdisk installed and am ready to mess around. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    So, when I started my iMac yesterday morning it couldn't boot into OS X anymore either. Several hours of restoring later I am back to square one. I tried installing Windows 7 via Bootcamp again but got the same error message. This time I noticed though that Bootcamp asked me to remove the bootable option from the USB drive with the support drivers in order to install from DVD. Does that ring any bells? I am building another USB drive right now, hoping it would ask me again but this I will decline and try to boot from it.
    When you restored, was a Time Machine restore used? TM does not backup Bootcamp and does an erase of the partition. It may also erase the entire disk (including the Fusion drive) if the specific backup of the volume layout of the disks indicates a pre-Bootcamp layout.
    My MacBook Pro is a 2009 model and also once had a built-in optical drive. I have no idea why it would work on there but not on the iMac.
    You also wrote
    When I plug the external DVD drive in, the boot manager recognizes a "Windows" disc and an "EFI Boot" disc. If I select the "Windows" disc I get a black screen with a blinking dash.
    The blinking dash indicates that it is working, but does not have the requisite drivers to enable the GPU/Mouse/Keyboard on the media being used.
    In the MBP case, did you have two drives installed in the MBP, a Fusion configuration, and then were able to successfully install Bootcamp?
    For example on a Mac mini I have a DIY Fusion drive, but the sequence was done differently. Bootcamp was installed using a USB stick+Windows 7 ISO.
    1. The two disks are not in a CoreStorage set up initially.
    2. The second disk is partitioned (64Gb) and a Bootcamp W7 install completed via USB (this is different HW as compared to IMac, because it has no Optical drive).
    3. After the HDD is partitioned, the first partition and the SSD are then used to create a CoreStorage volume.
    4. Here is the working version and disk layout. (I plan to erase both disks, put W7 on a partition on the SSD, and make the non-Bootcamp+entire HDD in a CoreStorage volume).

  • HT1199 After trying to install window 7 my new iMac will not reboot back to apple. Black screen "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". How do I get out of this?

    After trying to install Windows 7 in my new iMac It will not boot up back to Apple. I have a black screen with the following "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". My iMac did not come with a boot disk. What can I do?

    Try holding down the option/alt key during a restart and see if you can see/select your boot drive there.

  • After restart "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key

    Hi I am new to the community.
    I have an iMac, upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks when it was available. Yesterday the Mac did not detect a USB stick, selected restart, after restart "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key.
    Tried holding down the option key on reboot, but no success, wireless keyboard does not seem to be responding.
    Any suggestions please?

    Hi All,
    Managed to get the Mac to see the keyboard. My Mac is up and running now.
    Holding down the "Option" key worked and I was able to select the drive to boot off.
    Thanks to previous support all is now working.

  • No Bootable device insert boot disk on iMac Wireless

    Hi,
    We just recently bought an iMac with Intel just a month ago. Earlier today my computer completely froze so I restarted it. When I turned it on. I received the "No Bootable device--insert boot disk and press any key". Well with the new computers, we did not receive a disk and there is no disk drive in the machine. I have an external disk drive and I unfortunately do not have an external hard drive either. I have most of the files saved on a separate computer.
    I looked online and saw that when you restart the computer you can hold the Option key and it will bring up all the systems. It does work and it gives me two options. One is the windows and the other one is a hard drive  but its not the OSX hard drive. I've tried both and they both do not work and send me back to the message "No Bootable device--insert boot disk and press any key". We just bought it less than a month ago and I also have a 3 year support and coverage on it that covers problems if need be but I would like to try and fix it myself.
    If anyone has any other ideas or tips please let me know.

    OK. That's not the best news. I can take you through some Terminal commands to attempt to mount the volume if that's possible. Or, you can just erase the volume and reinstall OS X. I suppose your choice here depends on whether you have backups of your files.
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Bootcamp - No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key help plz

    Hello there!
    I recently upgraded my imac mid 2010 system with a SSD hard-drive. The old "main" drive went to the place of super-drive and after reinstalling OS X into the new drive and wiping the old drive a very interesting problem happened. I started trying to install windows 7 via bootcamp. I did everything what the bootcamp assistant says and after the imac restarts itself it just says No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key. Firstly I thought that maybe something is wrong with the installation disk (i have an external super-drive connected to the imac). After restarting the imac once again i held down the option button and arrived to the screen, where it shows the avlaible boot options (different disks). Now, what I saw, was funny. The bootcamp assistant had'nt created the bootcamp drive at all. Atleast it did not show it. After doing this two-three times the result was the same. My next idea was that maybe, there is an issue with the concrete SSD model I am using. So I went back to OS X and opened the bootcamp assistant and restored the state of the OS X SSD drive. Next I did an bootcamp partition onto the old drive I have installed. But the result is still the same. Now my head is empty of ideas.
    Has anybody had a similar problem and can you please give me tutorial what I did wrong or what to try next?
    Thanks.
    Indrek.

    Hi Michael!
    Yep, I did get this running. Not in a normal way (meaning the easy way). What I did, is that I just created the BOOTCAMP partition in OS X. Just let it format and create the partition where you would install BOOTCAMP.
    After that I discovered that via a ISO program (WinClone) you can directly restore a previously created OS X boot image to your current computer. So, I installed a blank Windows 7 to my macbook pro, didint install any drivers and just let it work up then. Then I went back to os X (in macbook pro) and made a bootimage for the BOOTCAMP partition. After that I saved it to my external harddrive and wired it to my iMac. In iMac I just downloaded the same boot-image program and restored the bootimage that I made in Macbook Pro to iMac. After that I made an restart and the bootcamp section with windows worked well with my iMac. Install the bootcamp soft and you can do everything and everything works. FYI, you get the windows working via those steps, BUT if you either delete or do anything to make your bootcamp partition unworkable then you will have to repeat those steps again. But it´s fast non-the-less, so it shouldn´t be a problem for you.
    If you didin´t understand anything or something doesen´t add up, send me a letter or a notification.
    Hope this helps.

    Good luck.

  • Recovery fail - "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"

    Hello,
    I have a problem with Recovery. I don't have recovery dvd/cd so I decided to use recovery partition. After system reboot I press F11 and click on recovery system. After 100% of progress, recovery tells me something like 'now your system will reboot press continue'. And now. After system reboot I see:
    No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
    I have totally no idea what to do. I read few posts on this forum but I have no Windows 7 CD/DVD and I have no one who can borrow me to install it. I really need my computer back in few hours to work.
    Looking for help from You.
    My computer: HP Pavilion dv7-6b40ew, Windows 7 Home Premium

    Hi,
    Assuming this is just a problem with the recovery media, here's an alternative option you could try.
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
    You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same version that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

    Any additional drivers and software you may need can be found Here.

  • White screen and message reading "No bootable device--insert boot disk and press any key"

    My iMac was recently upgraded to the new Lion software. I dont know if that has anything to do with it but, the computer was working fine. I was working in iMovie, had Safari open. My cousins and I opened Photo Booth and started taking pictures. When we clicked on effects and selected an effect everything froze. I turned off the computer and when it started up, the screen was white. I unpluged it and restarted it, same thing. I unplugged it and around 3 hours later I turned it back on...same thing! Well this time after the white screen appears for I dont know...10 15 seconds..it goes black and a message saying "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" appears. I have no idea what to do. I have stuff that needs to get done that is saved on this computer. PLEEAASSEE HEELLPP!!!!

    Start up you computer holding down the option and select Macintosh HD (or whatever name you gave your OS drive). If successful, take a trip to System Preferences->Startup Disk and make sure the proper HD is selected. Hope this helps.

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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

And nothing else but using the OSX installation disc helps.
    I realised that the windows installation disc did not even spin up.
    So what I did... I went back to OSX, reinserted windows installation disc, went to system preferences, selected the windows cd as a start up disc and locked it against the changes.
    After that I went back to bootcamp and clicked gain to install windows. Everything worked fine now.
    I just tried this and it didn't work for me. I keep getting a black screen with a cursor flashing in the upper left hand corner.

  • Satellite C650D-12C No bootable device - Insert boot disk & press any key

    Hi,
    I have a C650D that was working fine up to a week ago.
    It shut down ok, but refused to start up on the next boot.
    It comes up saying 'No bootable device -- Insert boot disk & press any key'.
    So I stuck in a bootable recovery dvd and the same thing came up, but although the dvd drive 'twitched' when I inserted the disk, it didn't seem to look at it at all when I rebooted.
    I rebooted again & pressed F12 to check the boot order. 1st is usb, then cd/dvd, lan, fdd, then hdd/ssd.
    I selected cd/dvd and after a few seconds' wait it said 'A disk read error occurred. Press ctrl+alt+del to restart.
    Both the harddrive & the dvd drive show up correctly in the bios.
    I plugged in a usb dvd drive, put in a recovery cd, rebooted & it started to boot from the usb drive, but then stopped doing anything after the first bit of info came up on the screen.
    I tried several bootable cds and they all do the same. They start booting, then freeze. For example, if I put in an XP install disk I get - 'Press any key to boot from cd drive' (the usb one), then 'Setup is inspecting your hardware', then a black screen.
    I've tried changing anything that might help in the bios, SATA controller mode, for example, but nothing has any effect on the situation.
    Any ideas anyone please?
    Many thanks.
    EDIT:
    I just tried booting from the usb drive with the harddrive removed from the system and the boot process continues normally. If I try & boot from the internal dvd drive though it still fails to see any disk.........

    Does this mean that if you remove the HDD you can boot from the USB flash drive, but you cannot boot from CD/DVD drive even if the HDD is removed?
    It sounds really strange but I think this would mean that either the SATA controller on the motherboard is faulty and therefore its not possible to boot from HDD or CD/DVD drive. Or it could be also possible that HDD and ODD malfunctions. But it would be really strange that both devices would start to malfunction at the same time
    So possibly the second idea is not true however, this would mean that something happened to the motherboard.
    But try this: access the BIOS pressing F2 at the beginning. Now set it to default settings pressing F9 and then save the changes pressing F10.
    Now try to boot again using an Recovery disk
