Narrative:
During takeoff our aircraft had a 'no takeoff configuration' warning on the EICAS. The warning occurred at approximately 30 KTS IAS. The flaps were set at 0 degrees instead of 9 degrees; which is the normal takeoff setting. We aborted the takeoff and exited the runway. We reset the flaps to 9 degrees and performed a normal takeoff. I believe the underlying cause for this no flap takeoff attempt was fatigue. The first officer had minimal crew rest prior to his crew day beginning. Whether it was caused by missed checklist steps or an accidental retraction; I feel fatigue was the underlying factor.
