Hello, My HDD is shown in BIOS. Also if I use a Windows 7 Bootable USB Pendrive I can see HDD even Can Install Windows 7. But, if I restart after installation, the HDD wont BOOT after POST, it keeps on restarting after POST.

Also , No Beeps sound from mobo, also Not coming "No boot Device found" Error.

HDD : Seagate SATA 1 TB
MOBO : GIGABYTE GA-H81M-S

Things I Tried :
1) Tried resetting BIOS to default State
2) Tried Changing ACHI to IDE In Bios
3) Tried Installing Windows From Bootable USB to HDD Again.
4) Tried Start Up Repair from Bootable USB PD..

Still my HDD won't boot after POST..

Please Help..!!

Good job with the troubleshooting so far! In addition I'd recommend you also try swapping the SATA port and the SATA cable that is connecting the HDD to the motherboard. If you have access to another working PC around you, I suggest you also try plugging the hard drive there and see how it will get recognized as a secondary HDD by the other system. If you have a spare HDD, you might as well try installing Windows 7 onto it as a test to see how the system will behave afterwards.

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes, though. :)
