There’s a difference between “Operating System not found” and “Boot device not found”. With the first a file like the bootmgr file could be missing, with the second the BIOS isn’t configured to look at the SSD before the HDD.
And depending on the system the BIOS may have to be tricked into finding the removable device. On my netbook I had to make my USB drive the 2nd removable device before the machine would accept it. USB Floppy, USB SanDisk, HDD.
I wonder if they returned you another drive…As my 120GB drive died in a fujitsu latptop…and wouldnt work anymore…not even on another pc. I bought a 2nd one before the 1st one failed. Now my 2nd one is dead. :( I haven’t tried another pc/laptop because it was just like the previous one. It went to sleep…then came up where the laptop couldn’t see the drive anymore.
“Operating System not found” - There’s a problem with the OS installation
“Boot device not found”. - There’s a problem with the Hard Disk.
Shed me a light on this please. Is there an SSD with 240GB capacity? I think he meant HDD. If it’s boot device not found, it could be that those cables are just loose and unplgu/replug those cables will sort this out for you.
I replaced hd in my fujitsu laptop with my recently purchased sandisk SSD (120G) . It worked fine on the first day and went dead completely on the second day. The SDD drive is completely undetectable either used as external drive or internal drive. The drive is totally useless now. What a terrible manufacture error!
