The error "No boot device available" is all over the web but here it doesn't nail it as a failed HDD or blown HDD contents. A bad HDD would not be able to be repaired by the boot DVD.
I'd try a new blank HDD and see if that can be installed and restored to.

Up until I went on vacation a week ago, my desk top worked fine. I turned it on last night when I got home and nothing happened...nothing...blank screen, and computer "on" light didn't come on. I tried again today and it started up but I got a black screen that showed:
<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">No boot device available
<span>SATA0: Installed
<span>SATA1: Installed
<span>SATA2: None
<span>SATA3: None
<span>SATA4: None
<span>SATA5: None
<span>
<span>I have the Windows 7 installation disk, so I put that in and it recognized it and gave me the option to fix or install. It said it couldn't fix, but I didn't know if I should install.

<span>This is a Dell computer, purchased Feb 2010
<span>6 GB DDR2 SDRAM AT 800 MHZ
<span>Windows 7 HOME PREMIUM 64
<span>ATI RADEON HD 4350 512 MB, RST
<span>500 GB SERIAL ATA II7200 RPM,M
I'd appreciate help. Is more information needed?
