Hello,
i droped my acer 5315 and now it says. No bootable device insert disk and press any key
i have no disk
can you help
 
Sounds like the drop may have damaged the HDD (or it came loose from the connector) -- first thing to check would be all of the connections for the HDD (if your lucky it just popped out of the connector so is not reading properly) -- If that is not the case you will probably need a new HDD and if you do not have the recovery disk might also need to buy one (If you do not have a recovery disk the best option may be to take it to a repair shop and have them take a look at it - since they should have a set of recovery disks to install to a new HDD if you need one instead of you having to purchase a recovery disk) But first check the HDD connection to see if it just came loose during the fall.
