Help me find a hard drive enclosure? Ma ManiacalCast
Moin, I have the problem that I'm trying to help a friend get his acer notebook up and running again.
He always gets the message no Boot Device or something like that.
We have now created a usb stick with exfat and the iso file on the mac and now have the problem that we do not get it displayed in the bios or uefi, I think it means that. The internal hard drive is also not displayed in the boot priority. We deactivated the secure boot (because it was stated in another forum) and we also created a password to get more functionality. But unfortunately the problem remains that we can't select any medium to boot. Can this be due to exfat? Does it have to be Fat32? Have tried around for an hour and restarted again and again but unfortunately without any success.
If someone can help us, we would be really grateful.
So if I understand correctly. The laptop booted with the display no boot device. This means that no boot information was found. The boot options may have changed. Check whether the laptop is actually trying to boot from the hard disk. If not, the mbr track is damaged or the hard drive has given up. However, it is completely a mystery to me how you came up with the idea to create a bootable stick for Windows on a Mac. You can google which programs are used to create a bootable stick. Next, look for what kind of Acer it is. There are two variants of how to set the boot sequence: Once via the BIOS and once directly via keys like F2, F8, F12 or something like that. Also the googel for the Acer model. Then it should too work… If the hard drive is not broken.
Well, his laptop doesn't work and I only have a mac myself. And the order does not work because nothing is displayed there that could be changed. How do I know if the hard drive is broken?
I'm sorry, with this sparse information, help is impossible. Where is nothing displayed? Where? That the hard disk could be broken is just an indiez. You can tell that the hard disk is e.g. No longer found. But you have to find out whether you are really trying to boot from C or no hard disk is found during a correct setup attempt.
