When attempting to boot an Acer laptop, some users have encountered an error message: “Exiting the PXE ROM with PXE-MOF. What Does It Mean By No Bootable Device Acer? To get detailed about learning and fixing the issue, just continue reading.

When everything else fails, you should get whatever backups you have if the data recovery you need is lost. There’s also the possibility that the motherboard is to blame. A damaged cable or other components might cause this. So, what does “No bootable device Acer” really mean?Ī bad SSD or HDD is to blame if it happens at startup. Thanks for posting back your solution-that should help some people too.The error message “No bootable device” or “No boot device detected” is typical while attempting to start your Acer computer.Įrrors like this might arise for various reasons but are typically relatively simple to resolve. We could start an entire subforum just devoted to all the work needed to fix people attempting dual-boot and multi-boot OS issues. I'll post back if I have any success there. If you've been reading the threads lately, we've have a few other people try the dual-boot with W10 and various versions of Linux including Arch and Mint, and they've had lots of problems too. I think it's a 320GB HDD, so I should have plenty of space to do a test install. But, I got another new internal HDD in the mail a bit ago for my W10 test machine, so maybe I'll give it a go there. I was going to try it again with the W10 AU v1607 and Ubuntu v16.04LTS (new version) on my big Sony Laptop, but I have a small 128GB SSD in there so I don't have enough room on that drive to add the partition needed.

I haven't messed around with that as I have been busy painting the outside of my house before the snow gets here, and handling the crush of folks with scrambled computers (W7, W8x, & W10) that I've had for the last 2 months. I decided to fall back to the 30-yard line and punt the football-I reinstalled the Ubuntu partition after another W10 reinstall and ran with the Ubuntu 14.04LTS from 2014 and it worked!!

I wiped the drive clean, tested it and all was fine. It turned out whatever I did I couldn't get the newest Ubuntu version, v16.04LTS to dual-boot with my W10 on the Acer netbook. I did however have a post a month or 2 ago, about doing a dual-boot on my little Acer AspireOne netbook with W10 (pre-AU v1511) and Ubuntu. Right now I'm fighting with getting all my machines on the AU v1607 b14393.187. That's another project I intend to mess around with on my W10 test machine.
