I accidentally formated a part of the original hard drive and it doesnt work anymore. so i bought a seagate 500gb 7200rpm hdd to replace the toshiba 750gb hdd.
i put the new hdd into my laptop and tried to install windows 8.1 pro with a usb. when i turned on the laptop i got the message "checking media" then it changed to "checking media failed" then a new message followed that said "No bootable device -- Please restart system"
I thought this was due to there being no OS on it so i put the hdd into my desktop and intalled windows normally without a problem. i then put the hdd back into the laptop and i got the same message as before. (when i was told to restart, i restarted multiple times on both occasions)
The new hdd worked with windows in the desktop. I put the hdd back into the laptop and i got the same message as usual. So i went into the bios and i say that the hdd was detected there, which is very odd.
Im not sure what to do here. If anyone can help then that would be great! Thanks
