Ok here's an easy one: You turn on the computer and get error message "No Boot Device Detected"
Or wrong drive selected in the BIOS.

Usually that wont be an issue, because it will eventually boot up from the right drive.

Huh??
If the the CD drive is selected to boot and there is no secondary drive selected why would it use the hard drive to boot up?

Why wouldn't there be a secondary drive? Even if the CD drive is priority it will still boot from Hard Drive

Not if you've got multiple HDD/SDD's, and the wrong one is selected.

Nope - This is a case that happens all the time, I used to have this about once a week when I would go out in the field.

You have a dual partition with two OS's and neither of them are selected to load by default.
