Hi,
My computer is a Lenovo u530 touch and I got this message that said no hard disk detected and I was playing with the settings and I booted legacy mode I believe. Now I have a black screen that says no bootable device found insert boot disc. My computer doesn't even have a disc drive! WhAt do I do

Ps. It currently has a SSHD and I'm replacing it with a 500gn ssd .

Ok well if your machine came with an activation key (usually written on a sticker applied to the machine somewhere or you could try Jellybean to find out your key:
KeyFinder | Magical Jelly Bean )

You or your friend can then use this page to download the windows 8 or 8.1 install iso.
Upgrading Windows with only a product key - Windows Help

Place the iso files on the USB stick using this app:
Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way

Once you complete the above you'll need to enter the bios and change the boot order so that your laptop will from the USB stick. Reboot and watch for any prompts to press any key. This is so you can re-install but access the repair console. When you get to the install page look...

You can further information on the recovery environment here:

I just reread your post as well as the other thread you created (??)

Your running windows 10?

Did you check your machine was compatible?

If you have Windows 8.1 on a usb then you could always re-install that although you'll need a activation key.

However if your already using windows 10 then you may have lost the chance to use the jellybean key finder as you have already removed your original os.

Did you upgrade to Windows 10 or perform a clean install?

The above is what I was asking you to do a post or two ago regarding this link:

Ok so if I'm correct you were originally running windows 8.1 and you upgraded to windows 10?

I forgot to ask, the 'recovery thing' you mentioned have you followed it to a conclusion like clicking on reset?

Resetting your PC

This process is a bit different depending on the version of Windows that you used to create the recovery drive.

If you created a recovery drive on Windows 8 or Windows 8.1:


  1. Connect the recovery drive and turn on your PC.

  2. On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.

  3. Select Next > Yes, repartition the drives, and then follow the instructions on the screen.
If you created a recovery drive on Windows 10:


  1. Connect the recovery drive and turn on your PC.

  2. On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Reset this PC, then choose the reset option that’s best for you.

    If that doesn’t fix the problem, try Troubleshoot > Recover from a drive. This will remove your personal files, apps and drivers that you've installed and changes you've made to settings. If you've repartitioned the drive that Windows is installed on, note that this will restore the drive's default partitions.

To be able to answer you properly I need answers to the questions below:

1). Yes
2). Yes
3). I have tried but it says missing a key , or boot code Missing. So if I'm correct I need a usb with a 8.0 recovery drive

Ok,
using the recovery usb you have now boot back into the recovery console. Using this guide to open the command prompt app

When the computer boots off the recovery media, pick the Troubleshoot option

Link Removed

Then choose Advanced Options

and head on over to the Command Prompt.

Link Removed

If you can get the command prompt app working type:
bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
Press enter.

If the above doesn't work then your going to need an install disk/USB of Windows 8.1 so you can boot from that and repair the bootloader.
