I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3567, and my 1TB Hard Drive looks like this: 500gb - windows 500gb - ubuntu. All good, but this morning when i opend it, my boot return this error: No boot device found, press any key to reboot. I thought it is broken, but i installed an ubuntu on an USB and run it on the laptop without installation. In "Disks" application, it shows me the HDD and says it is good. see screen shot from Disks here

Could anyone help me?

Use boot-repair. I had the same issue just the other day. I've been running a stable Ubuntu system for several weeks. I shut it down and everything seemed normal. Next day I attempted to boot and got the same message you did, "No boot device found. Press any key to reboot." I figured my hard drive died. Actually it was just a boot issue that was fixed using boot-repair. I booted to my live Ubuntu on USB stick. I opened a terminal and entered the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install boot-repair
boot-repair

After running boot-repair everything was back to normal. I still have no idea what happened to cause the problem, but since it was relatively easy to fix I'm not seriously concerned.

Note: Boot-repair appeared to freeze during the actual process of resetting GRUB and several error messages appeared in my terminal window regarding boot-repair. Eventually boot-repair completed it's work and gave a report that included errors. And then I rebooted my system and it worked like a charm.
