Travelmate X 349 G2-M can no longer find a hard disk and takes forever to start.

Hello,

Yesterday evening I copied 350GB from the internal hard disk to an external hard disk. I went to bed because it took another hour.

This morning I came down and there was the message "no bootable device" on the display. Restarting etc. does nothing.

When I start the laptop, it takes about 5 minutes until the first Acer logo disappears and the BIOS or the boot stick starts, for example.

No hard disk is shown in the BIOS. Both in legacy and UEFI mode.

If the Windows boot stick finaly does start and I run an analysis, then this message appears (which I can't close either somehow…)

I have tried the solutions in this video:
It can't find a hard disk though…

And nothing works here either:

Does anyone have an idea what this could be? Is it the hard disk? Why does booting into the USB stick take so long?
