Using Support Tools

No boot device available — No bootable partition on hard drive, the hard drive cable is loose, or no bootable device exists.

If the hard drive is your boot device, ensure that the cables are connected and that the drive is installed properly and partitioned as a boot device.

Enter system setup and ensure that the boot sequence information is correct (see the Dell Technology Guide available on your hard drive or at support.dell.com/manuals).
