When i click ctrl+S there’s no SATA mode but it shows me some VMD controller. I don’t know how to fix this, please help
Solved? Please let me know

Bro do you solved this
I have the same problem I can’t see the hard in bios why .
Thanks for the video! I've bought Acer Nitro 5 AN 515-57 laptop without OS, and no matter what I do bios doesn't detect bootable flash drive - there is only "Uefi Shell" option both in bios "boot" tab and boot menu. I have tried to disable Secure Boot, set Supervisor Password, enable Boot menu. I created a bootable flash drive using Media Creation Tool (Fat32 and NTFS) and using Windows ISO + Rufus. Nothing worked. Maybe it's because "Secure boot mode" in Bios in "Security" tab is set to "standart" mode (not "custom"), and I can't change it (it is gray). The option "erase all security boot settings" is also not available (gray). In some laptops you can activate SATA mode if you press Ctrl+S in the Main tab of Bios, but in my case it appears another option - "VMD Controller", which doesn't help. Please help me what should I do to make the flash drive visible in bios?
Please help how did you fix yours i have desame unit and problem
@@dagoyjp9722 Also the disk must have GPT format and FAT32 file system.
I have the same model an515-57 did you find any solution?

@@Ahtisham Try different drives to make a bootable drive. In my case it helped to make a bootable drive on ssd. Also make sure that your drive has GPT & fat32 format.
You saved me with ctrl s comand
I am really glad this helped! I appreciate your support for my channel, with your help and others we are almost to 1k subscribers!
I tried the control s and that worked but now I got to the part with the windows start up saying I have no drive to install windows. Does this mean that my internal drive is the issue?
Man, thank you so much for the hidden menu, it got me out of the problem.👍🤘
It was showing all right but when i click on it, the pc either shuts down or restarts
Thanks a bunch! Post installation, do i need to reset it back to third option?
Should make sure that it is formatted in what format?
on my advanced there is no option for usb wake on from s4 support 😢
Thanks. I was frustrated I couldn't boot off a fix-it drive stick.

Thanks. It worked
@@isa.ahmadov 🙏
But how?
@@ffash in the bios
@@darkansh2291I have no vmd controller in the main tab
How can you run another OS loaded in a USB ? This laptop does not read usb in boot menu in order to change OS
in my case, boot mode option is grayed out... have any solutions?
hi, i am having the issue of not seeing my drive, and when i press control s, the only thing that pops up is VMD Controller. i cant seem to get anything to work, despite watching many videos, do you think you know what i can do? Thanks!
Have u found a fix?
Im trying to boot from my usb but the option isnt showing despite it working fine in windows
Does this work with SSD too?
I got the solution when you said boot with FAT32. Thanks maan!
I think, if you can't find solution in bios, try fat32 with gpt partition
What software did you use?
@@MgaBatangQuiapo rufus.

my bios font turn to gray, and i cant do nothing...

Laptops, at least Acers really do be annoying af to install windows on
I have Acer Nitro 5 laptop
And since long time I am encountering this default boot device missing or boot failed issue on startup
I have tried all ways through UA-cam and acer discussions but nothing is helpful my laptop shows this everytime I on it but after many attempts like 20-30 bios settings changes like enabling disabling couple of things couple of time the laptop starts sometimes but after I shut it down after work this happens again when I open it again and it's been many months this is happening please sometime help me it would be real help.
Also I have tried lots of bios settings, I don't have legacy option, i have changed sata many time and I don't see hdd anytime in the UEFI mode, tried disabling the UEFI also by changing passwords, also. Tried F10 before acer logo and reset of the PC as well but nothing is working. I have tried opening laptop and checking the hdd proper connection and battery unplug and replug.
Here are pictures of what my bios look like but this is default I have played with these n number of times
Please someone help me.
I have same problem bro
Mine too. Please help us 😢
any luck?
I don't see SATA mode in the menu. What can I do?
Did you figure it out?
@@joshuawilson2386 I had to put the drive in another PC and make a new partition table. Open disk management and delete all partitions, then reformat as NTFS. That was literally the only way I could get it to boot. Kind of stupid and roundabout on Acer's part.
@@astraldelirium4122 Could you explain to me how I can do this?
@@guilhermebragatoalbanaz3in718 Open disk management and delete all partitions, then reformat as NTFS.
