So, my PC is new, it's like a month old, and I get this error. Before that I used to get a win7 error reboot and select proper boot device error message, but the thing is, I simply restart my PC and it works fine. It seems as if PC tries to load system from HDD before HDD has started... Is that even posible?

That used to be the case with old motherboards.
You could set a delay to allow the hard disk to be initialized.

Most new boards don`t have the option anymore though.

One of the catches here is most people forget to disable the floppy drive option in the bios. Disable or turn them off in the bios.

By default it is turned on, but as we know who uses a floppy drive these days.

Change the boot order of devices in the bios so the CD/DVD drive is first and the booting hard drive is second in the list.

Probably it is looking at the floppy device if the option is enabled.

Ok... So i played around with load order... I have no delay option, or at least not that I saw, and I have no floppy in my boot order, but two non OS HDDs were higher in boot order thatn theonw with the OS... Will report how it turns out....
