    Here are the main culprits behind the No Bootable Device error, see this guide How To Fix “No Bootable Device” Error:

    • Faulty hardware
    • Incorrect boot order
    • Wrong boot mode
    • No active partitions
    • Corrupt boot sector

    Try these fixes in the order listed below, starting with hardware troubleshooting first.

    • Check if Boot Device is Detected
    • Change Boot Order
    • Change Boot Mode
    • Repair Boot Sector

    It’s also possible that your Windows install isn’t detected due to a corrupt boot sector. In the case of MBR drives, you can access the WinRE command prompt using an installation media as done in the previous section and use the following commands to repair the boot sector:

    • bootrec /FixMBR
    • bootrec /FixBoot
    • bootrec /ScanOs
    • bootrec /RebuildBcd
    • Reinstall Windows

    If all the above doesn’t fix your " No Bootable Device error" then its your boot drive that is faulty and needs replacing, or your Nitro has a faulty super IO or a BIOS chip that needs replacing or other components that need diagnosing by an experienced technician and fixing.

    Disable Intel VMD in the Bios... When VMD is activated, the SSD NVMe is invisible..
