ERROR: NO BOOT DEVICE FOUND PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE

Hi Vikrantg,

Did you change the SATA controller mode in the BIOS from AHCI to RAID? How did you create the RAID? In the Intel RAID BIOS?

Hi Osprey4,

I am getting the same error and my laptop is from Dec 2013, an Inspiron 15.  I don't understand what you wrote but I know I have not touched anything.

Can you walk me through the steps to see if I can fix it myself? Or do I need to send it to support to get fixed?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Adultcsstudent,

The original post was about booting after creating a RAID 1 configuration. I assume your laptop has a single hard drive, so RAID does not apply. In all likelihood, you have a failed hard drive. You'll need to replace it, then reinstall the operating system and restore your backed up files. Dell can perform this service either under warranty or for a fee if your warranty is no longer in effect.

Thanks Osprey4!

I am looking to have it fixed by Dell since it's out of warranty but I cannot find a Dell authorized centre in Toronto, ON, Canada.  I phoned Dell but got nowhere. Do you know of a link where I can this authorized centre?

Thanks, Dixie

There are no "Dell authorized" repair shops.  Dell handles all post-warranty repair on a return-to-depot basis.  You can either contact Dell for the repair cost (currently $159 for anything but a mainboard or screen replacement) or take the system to the computer repair shop of your choice.

I`ve the same problem and I can`t find an answer.
