so i was using my pc fine this morning. decided to reset and got this message "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" i went into my bios and my primary and secondary slaves are not detected. my boot priority is still to boot from an hd but i dunno what is going on? i formatted an external hd from fat32 to ntfs but dont see how that would affect anything? i opened up my pc and none of my cables are loose and no bios settings were changed what would cause my pc to do this?

raid is when you use 2 drive to load the os and work with ,since it boot without the other drive the drive it boot un is the os windows one then check in the bios if this is the first boot device and on the motherboard it should be on the first sata port name 0 or 1 there is one of the other that could be defective and prevent system from boot .
