    Hey Guys, my daughters laptop has crashed. It's a Lenovo G575.
    It's telling me that there's no bootable device.
    I've tried to reboot the whole thing but even then it gets to the stage where there it says there's no drive to load windows onto???
    It wont even let me into the BIOS...

    Any ideas??
    Would love to be able to save all her data but even just to get it moving would be a big help...

    Cheers!!

    Out of curiosity I done a google search for "Lenovo G575 Bios".

    Someone else said they had to hold down the "B" button during booting to get the "Hit F2 to Enter BIOS" message...

    Also a BIOS reflashing / recovery tool.

    Link which contains 2 links themselves...

    Initially I'd suspect a hard disk error, requiring some disk repair tool like SpinRite, or if you've nothing special to save... a reformat and reinstallation of the OS.

    If you can't access the BIOS... could be hardware related.
