Should I reset my BIOS because of the Boot Drive Error?

R1C3B0WL · Nov 18, 2015

Something happened to my computer: "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key."

Should I reset my BIOS/CMOS because of this error? How?
I have a GIGABYTE GA-X79-UP4 (or UD3) motherboard with BIOS uefi (idk), and I only have a WD 1TB Hard Drive.

It's not a bios error. It's a drive error. Can you see your drive in bios?

I'm not sure. How do I get to that in GIGABYTE BIOS?

Look in your manual. Usually it's f12 or some key when it starts to boot.

Hit the delete key and enter there and choose proper boot device if your pc worked well before all this what happen to cause this? It could also be a sign a drive went bad but I doubt it..

No, I meant to say: Where do I identify the Hard Drive once I'm in Gigabyte BIOS?

Look for a section about "boot" and/or "boot order" and there should be some sort of drop-down where you can select your hard drive as the first boot option.

For my Gigabyte board with Award BIOS If you arrow down to "Standard CMOS Features" and hit Enter you will see all of the Hard Drives, DVD drives, etc. If you can't see the Hard Drive in the BIOS, it may a problem.

If the Hard Drive is seen, go to Advanced CMOS Features and scroll down to Hard Disk Boot Priority and hit Enter. That is where the boot order is selected. Select your Hard Drive and Hit F10 to save and exit.

I don't know whether all Gigabyte boards use Award Bios or not, so yours may be slightly different.

I cannot see my HDD in BIOS. All I see is the P2/DVD and USBs.

Looks like your hard drive has failed. Do you have another computer you can test it in? Try plugging it in to a different SATA port on your motherboard. Check that the SATA cable is firmly inserted on both ends.

It is likely that the drive is dead.
