Today morning I turned on my PC and it gave me this error " Select proper boot device ", I immediately opened my case and tried to reset the power cables of my Hard Disk ( By removing connectors and connecting it ), I restarted my PC and same error occurred, I went into the BIOS to check if the Hard Disk is being detected or not and it was detected, I changed it to boot priority but the same error came again. I have no idea what is causing this, this is weird because I've tried almost everything till now.

PC : 4gb Corsair Vengeance, Mother board : Gigabyte 970-a, fx8120, r9280x, corsair vs 650W, Seagate 1tb.

insert the cd/dvd after some options it will ask you where you want to install windows. if there are any partitions then your hard disk is good and if not then there are some other things to try

So I have to check if there are any partitions like C or D? or is it something else?, I had two partitions for my Hard Drive before this fiasco.
