Hi was playing on my computer today and I started lagging more than usual. I turned off my computer and when i turned it back on there is only text that says "reboot and select proper boot service or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key". I tried to make sure my driver was being launched first just like other suggested and it was so that wasn't a problem. I also reset my bios to default settings just in case and still nothing. I have tried a different power cable to connect to my hard drive and I replugged in the connections. I noticed that when my computer starts up it says there is 0 drivers even though in the bios it shows my driver. I have no idea to fix it and all of the suggestions online aren't helping. I dont want to have to wipe my hard drive. Any help is appreciated and btw my bios is an asus version.

Hey there.

@smorizio gave you some pretty gooed suggestions, bu you should also try out the basic troubleshooting steps, like trying out the drive with a different SATA port and cables (not just a different power cables but the data one as well), or even better - try it out with a different computer, to see if it's properly recognized.
If the OS installation does not see the drive, you could also try accessing it via Ubuntu Live USB/DVD, to see if it's recognized and if you can get to your files and back them up. If you are able to connect the drive to a different computer (either externally or internally), you could try out data recovery software as well: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1644496/lost-data-recovery.html &...

make sure the hard drive is moving. put your hand on it. in the bios if you reset the bios to default make sure under sata ports there set to achi not raid or ide. under boot tab in asus look for hard drive make sure your hard drive is listed as number one. if you have a dvd drive make sure it listed as the 2 device. if the pc gives you that error again. from another pc download the windows 10 media creation tool. make a bootable usb stick of windows 10. boot from the usb stick see if the installer see your hard drive. if it does exit out and then reboot the windows installer but boot into dos mode. run some of the diskpart tools commands to try and fix the mbr or boot record info.
