Why does the PC say “Boot device not found”?

There are not so many reasons that this happens, but in any case, you need to know them, as it will be easier to cope with the disease.

Most often, BIOS settings, or rather incorrect settings, lead to the problem at hand.

Also, a damaged hard drive (logically or physically) can be the cause. In addition, the MBR can let you down when damage occurs. And do not forget about viruses, malware or other external factors.

You should also pay attention to variations on this error:

• "Boot device not found; insert boot disk and then press any key on the keyboard"

• "Boot device not found - 3f0" or "Boot device not available"

• “Boot device not found; please install an operating system”

Method 2. Take care of your data

Before you start fixing the error, it is best to take care of your data.

Use DiskInternals Partition Recovery software to recover files from your hard drive (also, remove the hard drive and connect it as external storage to another computer). This software tool recovers pictures, music, documents, videos, etc. Hard drives can contain lots of data, but you have nothing to worry about: you can restore everything since DiskInternals Partition Recovery recovers up to 1 Pb.

This application has several Recovery Wizards, each of which works with a specific file system, another benefit of this application. DiskInternals Partition Recovery also offers several recovery modes that the built-in Recovery Wizards will tell you about. This utility is as safe as possible: it is completely transparent, as you can preview the data before recovery.

This feature, unlike on similar applications, is always free for everyone. Download the application to quickly secure your data.
