I have tried tapping the F8 key, but I still receive the same "no bootable device - please restart system" message.
How do I get to BIOS? I can't seem to find a way to do anything. All I see is the same message, no bootable device please restart system. thanks

Found BIOS and HDD is the first listed. I hit enter and nothing happens. Is there another command to use?
If you have indeed verified the HDD is listed, and is the first one, then the HDD does not spin up. Check the physical connection, and make certain it is tightly connected.
If this connection is indeed good, then you need to boot into a recovery shell and see if you can mount the disk to see what is on it. Do you have another PC to make a recovery USB boot?
Go here and get an iso, and place it on a USB. Set the USB to boot in bios.

YOur PC should already have a valid license on it.

Hi, once I plug in the USB how do I continue? It doesn't seem to recognize that anything has been plugged in.

I believe you must change the boot order in bios so that the USB key is read first.
Hi, how do I change the order? Thanks.

Not sure what I did, but now I am back where I started and cannot access BIOS. Any suggestions?

Double check that, because as of right now, the DISK ISN'T seen. If you didn't have an os, it would say NO OS! The indication you are giving is the disk isn't found. Find it in bios!
