My Acer laptop for work just did an update. And I now have black screen of "no bootable device - please restart system" showing. Arse - mainly as our I did not back up last three days work to our server....:(

Any advice?

if you have access to another windows pc you can burn one (or a usb stick) from there and boot up.

would let you copy off your data before you try anything else.
