I've been using this PC for about an year or so and it suddenly stopped booting up yesterday. I've seen that connecting my WD Blue 1tb hard drive makes the computer unable to boot. After a long black screen it says "Preparing Automatic Repair" and then goes to black screen again. I tried using a windows 10 USB recovery drive but it also doesn't boot up when I have the hard drive connected. Disconnecting the hard drive makes it work. Is there anything I can do to fix it without having to replace the hard drive?
