Need fast fix!

I got a new laptop and the moment I turn it on it says "no bootable device insert disk and press any key" I have the disk but the laptop doesn't have a way to insert the disk. What do I do?

Your laptop has no cd/dvd/blue ray drive?

 

[Bridget_3]

No it doesn't have it!

Huh, wild. Usually it's not a slot, but a covered drive on the side accessed by either a small button or a key on the keyboard.

For stuff that truly has no optical drive, Windows is usually pre-loaded with a recovery disk in a partition, or has to be accessed by USB flash drive that has a Bootable copy of Windows or a Windows install.

If you have access to a regular pc, you can make a Bootable windows drive easily enough.

I'm just surprised you bought a new laptop that included a Windows disk that had no optical drive.
