Task 1
Step 1 – Ascertain Problem. “No OS found” is error message. After booting the system we find out that BIOS loads properly, the system POSTs without other problems and there was no other windows splash screen. This means that hardware is ok and BIOS/POST is running properly. This means that the error is more than likely a configuration error.
Step 2 – Write down causes. The 3 most probable reasons for this error are: The BIOS has been reconfigured in a way that disables the boot drive, the boot drive has failed or the boot drive has been wiped clean.
Step 3 – Determine if theories are correct through testing. To test BIOS reconfiguration we enter the BIOS. Press F2 and enter the BIOS password. We then want to find out Boot priority. Hard disk drive isn’t listed so our theory has been proven.
Step 4 – Create and implement a resolution plan. We want to modify the BIOS boot order. We need to add the hard disk as the first priority, followed by the CD-ROM and Network PXE.
Step 5 – Verify problems are fixed. Save settings to BIOS and restart computer. Windows boots correctly. Do another graceful shutdown and restart again. Windows boots again. Problem has been rectified.
Step 6 – All steps were documented throughout the process.

Task 2
Question 1 – How do you access Advanced Boot Options Menu?
To access this menu, press the F8 key immediately after the computer starts
Question 2 – What does the Last Known Good Configuration utility do?
This utility starts the computer with the last configuration known to work.
Question 3 – When would you use the Last Known Good Configuration utility? Give example
A perfect example of using this would be if your computer does not work properly after installing some new hardware or software
