Hello,

I have an Asus P5K motherboard with which i cannot boot from my Western Digital SATA drive. It tells me to "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key". Before, i had installed windows 10 on one of the 2 PATA drives connected to the motherboard, and it booted without any problem. Why does it not want to boot from the SATA drive? I tried booting from a cd-rom connected via sata and it worked perfectly fine... Here's a video showing what i did.

So i guess the problem is coming from windows itself? What do you have to suggest?
 
Solution
Your windows installation probably got spread over both disks, a common problem. You should always install windows while only one HDD is connected. What to do ? While only system disk is connected, Boot from CD and select repair.
