I screwed something up on my laptop, and was forced to use my recovery disks.
Everything worked fine during the recovery.
Now, I have to set my BIOS to boot from HDD rather than from disc.
I go in the BIOS, go to the boot tab, and lo and behold, the HDD is not listed as a boot option.
How can I add it as a boot option?

Specs:
ASUS G75VW-AS71
CPU: Intel i7-3610QM
RAM: 16 GB DDR3
HDD: 750 GB 7200 RPM
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M
How I screwed it up:
I was mining some dogecoins, (Yes, I know, don't mine on a laptop.) and I was thinking of some ways to lower my temps a bit. So, being the moron I am, I open up MSI Afterburner and decide to see what happens if I set the memory clock to -500 something. After doing this, my screen glitches out, and with the power button, I reboot the computer. Windows loads back up without much hassle, except for the "Windows didn't shut down properly." After Windows is back up, I decide to open up Afterburner to see if there was anything else I needed to fix there. I didn't set the settings to save upon startup, so I assumed everything would be fine. Wrong. Upon opening Afterburner, the screen glitches out, worse than before. I also hold the power button this time, and then proceed to turn it on again. I am greeted with the option of system startup repair, or to start Windows normally. I decide to try and start Windows normally. No luck. The logo animation does not start. I then try system startup repair. The "loading files" bar goes back and forth a couple of times, and then nothing happens. So, I am faced with no other choice. I dig out all four of my recovery discs, and start the process. Everything goes smoothly, and then, as I expected, I am greeted with the message that I should change my boot device. So, I reboot, hit F2, and go into the BIOS. I move over to the boot tab, and discover that I only have one boot option, namely, my DVD drive. I can't find any way to add my hard drive as a boot option. What should I do?
tl;dr: Read it.
