    No bootable device - restart system

    Hello,
    2 months ago i had problem with “automatic repair” and i saw video on YouTube (

    [MEDIA=youtube]ZZBOdeTF5Iw[/MEDIA]

    ) and it helped me a lot. Now i got again that problem so i tryed that method again but this time i got “Access denied” at step “bootrec /fixboot” so i tryed method which is in comments but i still god “acces denied”. Then i decide to skip that part and go to next one “attrib d:\boot\bcd - h - r - s” and i got massage “Unable to find d:\boot” (something like that). I tried to find in Internet solution and i find method with deleting something :
    “diskpart
    sel dis 0
    sel par 1
    del par override
    cre par EFI
    for fs=FAT32 quick
    assign letter=T
    exit
    bcdboot C:\Windows /s T: /f ALL
    exit”
    I did this and after i turn off pc and turn on i got black screen with massage “No bootable device - please reset your system”
    I know i screw it and i deleted something wrong, so what can i do now?

    Hello

    Sounds like your HDD has failed. Also we need your complete laptop spec’s. Hopefully some of our members will chime in soon..

      if the boot partition really did live on D:\ drive, your diskpart commands deleted it.
      so your ‘no bootable device’ is because of that, and as vger mentions, the original cause could easily be a failing drive.

      I would be doing a repair install of Windows (or even a fresh install), forgetting D:, and putting everything on C:\

      looks like C: and D: partitions are on the same physical drive.

            and while the sun shines, this is a good reminder of having a backup process in place… just saying.
