DELL XPS 15 9560 NO BOOT OPTIONS
I was trying to re-install windows 10 and managed to mess up the settings in the BIOS under BOOT SEQUENCE SETTINGS such that I now have no boot options !
When I go into the Boot Sequence menu I have nothing listed under Boot sequence. Then under the Boot List Option I have UEFI selected and if I click on Add Boot Option I have 4 items in the file system list, each one starting PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x17.00x0)/Sata.....which means nothing to me.
I am thinking to re-install the BIOS under the F12 menu.
I'd be very grateful for assistance.

You might go into more detail as to the process being used to re-install Windows. Normally, Bios changes are not required to do that. If you started with a clean drive or removed the current partitions, at least the 4 primary partitions, the system should at least allow you to start the install.
If you can't boot to a USB drive which contains the install media then perhaps the USB drive is not configured correctly. You would normally see a UEFI version of that drive.
Were you having a problem which needed your OS to be reinstalled?

Thanks for the reply.
I tried this and this is what happened;
Support assist load - "running a system scan ....."
Then - "Hardware scan complete with no issues"
Then - "No bootable devices were found! Possible causes could be a corrupt OS image or a boot device is not enabled in BIOS setup"
I have also managed to reload the BIOS through the F12 menu. It said it was successfully loaded. When I ran the laptop the same happened as above.
I have also run the hardware diagnostics from the F12 menu and everything came back as good.
Any ideas ??
Thanks in advance.
