Hi everybody, I don't know what to do know.

I went back to my PC (Was in sleep mode) and tried to wake it up. The screen didn't put any signal out, so I rebooted the Computer. Then, the message "...please insert boot disk and press any key" occurred. i realized, that I've left a CD in the drive. So I took it out of the drive. I rebooted again, but the message was still there. I even tried to enter the BIOS Setup and select my disk... but it doesn't show up. Only the CD-ROM Drive does show up.

I don't know what to do now, I had the error a few months ago but along with a blue screen (the windows automatic repair boot circle). Since then, I have a fresh Windows 8.1 Pro installed.

I can try to connect the drive to another slot, but that's going to take a while, I don't have any proper screwdrivers in my house....


Motherboard:
ASUS Sabertooth Z77

Disk:
Kingston SSD 256GB



best regards,
Vincent


btw: sorry for my english, I'm more concerned about my PC, than my english :/  .

I would say to make sure the cables are reconnected. Sometimes they can just lose connectivity. Unplug them from the drive and the motherboard and reconnect them. Also try it in another slot. See if that solves the problem, if it doesn't then you might be looking at a failed drive.
