Solved "no bootable device – insert boot disk and press any key"

[1-0-1]

I followed all instruction on the http://malwaretips.com/Thread-How-to-fix-no-bootable-device-–-insert-boot-disk-and-press-any-key post and needless to say the initial fix did not work. I have attached the required TXT files with this post. Only thing I can deduce out of those file is that the line:

The boot configuration data store could not be opened.
The requested system device cannot be found.

in the result.txt does not seem right? I can access the drives and also scanned it via chkdsk /f.

Hi welcome to the forum!

Try this: Go into system recovery > command prompt and type:

Bootrec /rebuildbcd

and press Enter. Let it run for a while

save it as fix.txt onto the USB with Listparts. Plug the USB back into the unbootable PC, go into command prompt, start listparts and click fix. If it still doesn't boot, do another Startup repair if you haven't
