On startup motherboard goes through a bunch of screens, shows it detects my hard drive (there is only 1), and then eventually says disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter.
A few things
1. Brand new hard drive, installed OS on a different computer it works fine
2. Sketchy motherboard I bought from a PC recycle place, the computer worked for a while and then windows broke so I reinstalled using a different computer(gigabyte boards have issues booting from usb) I brought the HDD back and now it wont boot.
3. Not quite sure if this computer is designed for ahci (it has ahci options but it's kind of sketchy)
4. Cables are good since I used them on a different computer
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
core 2 quad q8200
2gb nanya RAM
brand new ST1000DM003 1000gb hdd
thermaltake tr2600w (its a random psu-wayyy too much power)
asus GTX 550ti
I'm pretty sure windows is trying to read from the wrong partition but I don't know how to fix it.
If you know any BIOS settings I should change please tell
All help appreciated
