Boot into the BIOS and check the boot order.

Usually this message is due to the hard drive not being detected at boot and the system

os attempted to from from the next boot device (network in this case)

I did that and the hdd was already number 1 in the boot order so I enable the F12 boot order menu selection to see if that was it and now when i try to boot it says No bootable device --please restart system and now i am unable to go back into the bios

Nix that, I'm back where I started, I can go into the bios but nothing i change enables the computer to boot up. When I enable F12 boot menu it gives no options to choose from when I press F 12 and it just says No bootable device -- please restart system when i try to boot up. I then load bios defaults and it goes back to the original error message I posted.

Is the netbook under warranty? If so have it repaired

You most likely have a problem with the hard drive or the connection to the motherboard.

You would have to disassemble the netbook to access the hard drive and make sure

seated properly.

wrong service manual, its a d260 2919 and I think it is the hard drive, says none in the bios.

Sent it back to the factory and they fixed it, they replaced the HDD.
