No Boot Device Found issue with Inspiron 5423(14z Ultrabook)


I came across a case where an OOB Inspiron 5423(14z Ultrabook) was not booting to Windows and system has 500GB SATA HDD and a 32GB SSD. SSD was not getting detected in BIOS, whereas SATA drive was getting detected. “No Boot Device Found” was the error msg on boot. Followed following troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:

Went to BIOS>Changed SATA operations to AHCI, system gave BSOD
Restarted the system
Went to BIOS>Load Defaults

And issue was resolved and now mSATA drive was detected and system was booting fine to windows.
