Question

Hi, I have laptop Dell Latitude 5300, with BIOS ver: 1.6.0.  SSD M.2 Disk has been replaced and now i now i have only this blank disk which is recognized and visible in Bios Device Information. In Bios\Boot Sequence\ i see only Onboard NIC, when trying to ADD BOOT OPTION i get: FILE SYSTEM NOT FOUND !  How can I add USB to boot sequence ?  In BIOS 1.6.0 there is no Advanced Boot Option and choice between Legacy and UEFI. Onboard diagnosis is sucessful. Checking media presence : No bootable devices found  Please advise next steps

You will need to install an operating system on the device https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000132963/how-to-install-your-operating-system-when-you-don-t-have-a-cd-or-dvd-drive-in-your-dell-pc#Hardware_Methods

@Chino de Oro​ How can I instal operating system if USB or CD/DVD cannot be added to boot sequence ?

Chino de Oro · Answer

With the installation media plugged in, you continuously tap F12 at the Dell boot logo to get one time boot menu.  You will find the Windows boot drive listing for selection.

You must have a Windows bootable drive plugs in to the machine prior to tapping F12.

Have you review the linked article from previous post?

If you do not know to make one. You can go to Microsoft site here and download Windows Creation Tool. You run it on a working computer and allow it to creating an installation USB drive, using at least 8 GB drive.

Now, use the drive while booting with F12 and see if the drive will show up.
