I shut off my PC inside Windows last night and went to bed. When I woke up, I got nothing. I simply got the message:

Code: 
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
I thought about trying a system repair, but I do not have a repair disk available. If I select my SSD from the BIOS boot manager, it will simply skip my SSD and boot into Linux from one of my other HDDs (which is what I am currently using). Any suggestions?

Perhaps so. I completely redid my wiring today so maybe that fixed it. Not sure. I can say that my cable management looks much better. :D Went from this:

But this is just a personal side note. :)

I picked a case with top quality cable management. :)

Absolutely no room behind the motherboard and they don't even have covers on the holes. :/

Top quality cable management made a good choice.

Though it won't be long before we have transceivers built into drives enabling them to wirelessly communicate with the system.

RAM will have them too so that data can be sent to and from RAM without disturbing the processor. We could have the CPU reading/writing to RAM whilst data is simultaneously being transferred between the drive and the RAM.

Now that's what I call multi-tasking.

And where will your top quality cable management be then? :)

Technically, this can already be done. ;)

I know. Do you remember the 720 KB floppy disks we used to rely on for data storage?

I remember them somewhat, I remember getting my first 1GB flash drive and being so excited because it could hold so much. Now I'm toting around a nice 64GB flash drive that's almost full. Amazing really.

Funnily enough, I recently acquired an old 1 GB USB stick, in-so-far as a USB stick can be old and I commented to friends about the craftsmanship that had gone into it.

It is in a sturdy cover that is covered with a tanned leather and has a finish to it that make it appear as a valuable item.

It even had a leather loop with a press-stud so that it could be transported on a belt loot or something.

And I found myself saying, they don't make them like that anymore.

It put me in mind of the eighties and those table-top cigarette lighters we used to have that were in the same price-range of jewellery.

And I bet this 1 GB yoke cost a bomb when it was first bought.

Anyway, how is your computer? Not bored yet?
