Latitude 5400 No bootable device found error

After installing a windows update did a restart and when it restarted the Dell logo appeared. Then in the upper left corner of the screen "checking media presence" appears followed by "no media present". This is followed by "critical error message" saying "No bootable device found". What do I do to recovery from this.

Hi

Initially I would check the BIOS settings, things like

AHCI

RAID

Secure Boot

Perhaps post pictures of the screens, and you also have a record if you are advised to change some settings, like reset to default etc etc.

Obviously a full hardware diagnostic just to show/prove the device is still present and functioning.

Does the drive appear in system setup (F2 at powerup)?
