The most common reason is that the storage device is missing or not connected properly. However, this problem can also happen if certain BIOS settings are not right, such as if CSM is turned off, Secure Boot is set up incorrectly, or the order of boot devices has changed. In this article, we will discuss different ways to solve this error.
1. Make Sure that Your HDD/SSD is Properly Connected
The most common cause of this issue is a loose connection between your computer and its HDD/SSD, which can prevent your computer from detecting the drive. Now, restart your computer and check if it boots normally.
2. Allow your computer to Recognize all HDDs and SSDs
If your HDD/SSD is properly connected but your computer still will not boot, it may be set to only recognize the original drive from the factory. In this case, you can adjust some settings in the Aptio Setup Utility to allow your computer to detect any HDD or SSD. Here’s how: Restart your computer once more. When your computer boots, it should now load your Operating System instead of the Aptio Setup Utility.
