Toshiba C55D-A5206 - No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key

[gaio]

Pessoal, é o seguinte:

Um amigo me pediu para tirar o Windows 8 e colocar o Windows 7, no notebook que ele trouxe dos Estados Unidos.

Eu estava com alguns erros na instalação, usando vários discos e versões do Windows 7.

Encontrei no Youtube um vídeo que recomenda a alteração de alguns parâmetros do SETUP.

Após efetuar essas modificações, ao iniciar o computador, imediatamente após ligá-lo aparece a mensagem: "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key".

O problema é que nenhuma mídia executa, nem DVD de Instalação do Windows, nem do Linux, nem uma versão em Pendrive que eu tenho. Sempre aparece a mesma mensagem.

E para piorar, nenhuma tecla de atalho que tentei entra no Setup novamente.

Antes ao ligar o computador, aparecia uma tela com a logo da TOSHIBA e de lá eu entrava no setup. Agora nem essa tela aparece mais. Apenas a mensagem "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
