Error notebook samsung np300e4c Boot menu is empty












0














I have my notebook Samsung NP300e4c. When turned on yesterday it shows me a picture with the list of boot options menu and app, but the list of boot I get empty !!!!





Entering BIOS recognizes my device but the boot priority list does not show me anything.





What to do please I need your help. and replace disk and restart the BIOS



EDIT 1 29/10/2014



This image shows the BIOS correctly recognizes the hardware connected to the sata ports, so connectivity issues not think it

  • thanks for the reply, I bought a new hard drive, because the former was dead. I changed the hard drive in the notebook and still continues with the startup list empty

  • Please be precise when you are writing questions. Currently I guess you can hear the hard drive spinning. Still sounds like a hardware issue : are you sure you plugged it correctly? It would be relevant if you upload pictures from inside you notebook to this question.

  • Then, can you try to boot on the CD-ROM or Hard Drive (if you installed an OS on it) again.

I was searching months for a decent solution for this problem with same NP Samsung model. There are an incredible key-combination to boot from DVD-ROM and finally to get access.



First thing is to reset bios configuration with RTC BIOS pins, located besides RAM slots (alternatively, you can remove the CMOS battery for a moment). Then, insert a bootable USB drive or DVD-ROM and automatically press Fn+F3 (for DVD boot) or Fn+F5 (for USB boot).



If that doesn't work, try with Ctrl+F keys. If you have any OS installed on your HDD this will make it start.



I know, is not the solution for this problem, but an alternative to "jump it". Hope it works for you!
