My PC was running ok..
but today when I turned it on, it
said "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or
Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and
press a key".

I went to the BIOS and tried to change the first
boot to my HDD but only "floppy disk" was
shown there.
not even Optical drive was present there
I checked if the HDD was connected to the mother board and it was.
But my PC doesn't detect it, Not even the Optical drive.
few days earlier this msg displayed but when I rebooted, it started working again, but this time it isn't.

Normally caused by a dead/dying hdd or the master boot record being corrupt on HDD.

If no HDD's displayed in BIOS, then dead !
