My compaq presario c300 gives boot failer error sometimes. It says no bootable device detected. In this case I switch it off and turn it on and press f10 key. It sends me to bios settings, now using errow keys I reach to the hard drive enable option and make it dissabled. Then by pressing f10 again I save the settings using enter key. Now when I restart it, it ask me to start windows normally and then it boots. And hence all the problems of booting drive missing gets solved.
