Hello,


I was wiping my hard drive on my Toshiba all in one and had a power outage for 2 seconds and screwed it
My question is when i press F2 and go through Bios it comes up with the pixie thing and says no bootable device how do i fix it or is it stuffed all together ???????
Bloody power companies

Thanks

Hello Michael

I am sorry to say that the message "no bootable device" indicates a hard disk failure to which only a qualified technician can attend to. When the power is restored, often there is a power surge which damaged some components. Did you have your computer plugged in a surge protection power bar?

I agree about power companies.

Good luck
