I installed a new internal hard drive in my dell desk top and when powered on, I get the message, ( no bootable devise available )?

Hi Sammy J.

If Windows 8 is installed in the computer, please follow the below mentioned steps:

Restart / Power on the computer.

At the first text on the screen or when the Dell logo appears, tap <F2> until the message Entering Setup appears.

Boot Mode will be listed under Boot.

Select UEFI using the arrow keys to navigate and press enter.

Save and Exit the System Setup.

Check if the system is booting normally.

If the above step does not resolve the issue then please check if the HDD is detected in the BIOS. Restart the system and tap F2 key every two seconds at dell logo to open BIOS. Check what is listed for fixed HDD.

Please post the results.

Thanks,

Make sure that the BIOS can see the new HDD then put your OS disc in the drive and set the computer to boot first from the drive the disc is in then just reboot and install your OS

You need to install an operating system on it...cheers
