after BIOS boots states: reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.
Dvd drive boots parted magic and spotmau just fine but neither can find my HDD. I was using pc one night and fell asleep with system running (like usual) when I woke up next morning my system was off and this is the msg it was giving. I used a laptop cooler since getting the system and never ran system w/o the cooler. I have since changed the 64GB SSD HDD to a 256GB HDD with identical results. HDD swaps with this model are not routine as with different makes/models and take some time to do. No matter what I've tried (i've been a pc tech for about 13 yrs now) I get the same results. I've even tried using the cd/dvd bay to plug in several different Hdds and nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.
I do not see an option to disable lan boot only boot order ( in which I have made network the very last option) and I went ahead and disabled the integrated NIC in bios advanced tab. I'm running bios ver. A11 btw if that's important. Now just tells me to "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key." BIOS still doesn't list anything other than my optical drive being present.
