No Boot Device Found. Press any key to reboot the machine_

[Tomrowe]

Recently replaced my old broken hard drive with a new WD10JUCT hard drive. Now every time I start up it comes up with a message saying 'No Boot Device Found. Press any key to reboot the machine_' windows 8 software, dell inspiron 15R-5537. Tried running bios and changing settings but nothing seems to be working, please help.

Does the hard drive show up in the bios?

Did you clone a drive to the new one for booting or did you do a clean install of windows 8?

Another bios question: In the bios, do you have the drive set as the primary boot option?
