I’ve got this Dell XPS 15z laptop laying around with a broken hard driving. I swapped the hard disk drive (same format) of another laptop for an SSD. So I thought I could try to make it work again by replacing the broken hard disk drive with this other hard disk drive which is still working.
Dell Laptop is working, I actually had it working with another hard disk drive on Ubuntu and Pear Linux.
But I need it on Windows 8 for a demo.
My spare hard disk drive, has already Windows 8 installed and if I were to put it back into my other laptop—a Vaio—it would boot and work properly.
But when I put that Windows 8 hard disk drive in my Dell XPS 15z I get the message
Operating System Not Found
I decided then I would try to reinstall Windows 8 with a USB bootable device as explained here.
But when I boot from the USB device I get the error message again:
Operating System Not Found.
I really don’t understand why this is not working.
PS: In the BIOS, I see the hard disk drive with it’s name and everything, so the BIOS is detecting it properly.
I tried to have a windows bootable usb, (OS running on key) when I boot in my usb flash drive, i have the same message again
