What is a bootable device?
A bootable device is, as the name suggests, any storage device that the computer can "boot" from. In this case the word "boot" refers to the loading of the operating system. So any device you can load an operating system from is a bootable device.In modern computers, the hard disk is generally the primary boot device. However most new computers can also boot from a CD-ROM or DVD drive (usually for the purpose of reinstalling an OS to the hard disk) so it is also a bootable device. Many systems also have the ability to boot from USB thumb drives or external hard disks and back in caveman days, floppy disk drives were also popular boot devices.
What do you do when a computer says no bootable device--insert boot disk and press any key?
That means that there is no hard drive installed, or that it does not have a working operating system on it. The BIOS is prompting you to insert a bootable CD to install an operating system or run a repair utility.

It won't make any difference at all. I have non system disks in my drives all the time. It matters not.

No. An ISO image is a copy of the file system of any disc with an ISO9660 file system. It does not have to be a bootable image.

Why can't I boot Windows after installing Linux?
If you told the installer to use the entire hard drive, Windows will be erased. If you told it to resize the partitions on the disk, Windows should still be bootable from the GRUB boot menu. If the installer was interrupted before GRUB could be installed, Windows is probably still intact, but lacks any boot loader to launch it. Reinstall Linux to fix the problem.

What is the beginning of the boot drive?
You can set the boot flag to any one drive partition, but it must have a bootloader installed.

Under the MBR system there will be a master boot record (MBR).

Boot any bootable OS(with a partition manager) from a USB stick or DVD and reformat your HDD to NTFS, then try a clean install.
