Hi, I have a new satellite L305 laptop (L305-S5962) Vista home premium SP2 that has a reoccurring problem of "no bootable device found".
I updated the BIOS and it still happens.
Once the hard drive is detected it runs fine.
Once you close the lid and leave it overnight I have found the error. If I'm lucky I press F2 and the hard drive shows up-I save/exit and it starts up fine.
I had some malware show up in a scan and removed it.
Antivirus scan shows no problem.
I made a set of recovery disks before the problem began but have not tried to use them.
I also found in device manager that there are problems with:
Microsoft 6 to 4-not working
Teredo tunneling pseudo interface can't start
I let it check online for solution and nothing came back.
Windows update shows no updates available.

have a new satellite ... that has a reoccurring problem of "no bootable device found".
If it's really new, I'd return it right away. No point in fooling around with a malfunctioning machine right out of the box.

Well I guess I have to do the tech support route until they have me send it back.I bought it online.
Called tech support-doing a restore to factory settings now.
Let's start over-I'm glad I don't use this for my files I care about!
Thanks

I restored it to out of the box, ran all the updates and the problem seems to have gone away so far.
