Okay, so to demonstrate situation.
Im on an acer system and i had an old HDD from an ex External HDD (Hitachi) I decide to add it to my currentting rig alongside my current seagate HDD, both are 1tb... Enter hell. Now im getting this message continuously. No matter what i set the boot order as i cannot boot from a cd to reinstall (Tried with a win 7 disk, then an 8.1 disk, both to no avail). Tried altering sata locations, removing the added drive, restoring defaults in BIOS, nothing working, still getting this screen.
Also was cleaning dust from fan prior, so ive completed three rounds of "This is in firm, so is this, ugh, nothings out of place! Unless i missed something..."
If it makes any difference, before this i had a dual boot system with Ubuntu and Windows 7, using a Gnome bootloader, im not sure if that would affect my ability to boot from a cd though as i can still access BIOS and whatnot.
Never encountered this problem and im out of options, so any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
