Hello.
I got this laptop that seems to be OK.
According to Bios, HDD is detected.
HDD is new, thin type, 500 Gb
But I cannot launch it. After Asus logo screen, I get this wording:

"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected Boot device and press a key."
How do I fix this?
Thanks a lot and best regards

I bought it this morning and because of the problem I cannot install an OS.
I tried a different HDD that I know for sure is in working order but the problem remains: I got a screen full of zeroes.

""Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected Boot device and press a key." " means that there is no operating system...nothing to boot from.
How are you trying to install this OS?
