    Hey guys, I was just wondering if any other XPS owners are getting this error when booting up:

    "Cannot find boot device".

    Rebooting fixes it every time, and it doesn't happen when the system has been restarted, only on a cold boot.

    XPS 14.

    Thanks.

    I'd check boot sequence in BIOS. HDD should be the first boot device.
