Hello guys i have no idea what happened... Today when i tried to boot up my computer as i usually do, i couldn't get past the BIOS screen... I also noticed that my boot options are gone!
What are my choices, i don't want to lose everything since i haven't made i backup :(

Here is what it looks like:

It shouldnt cause an issue but it seems it did.

You cant reinstall windows at this point because your system does not know that it even has a hard drive attached.

Something got all messed up in bios when you soft reset the bios.
At this point the only thing that you can hope will fix it is doing a hard reset of the bios by removing CMOS battery which (unless there is a coin cell battery under one of the memory/hdd access covers) requiring dissasembling the laptop.

I dont dare to open my laptop :(

However do you think this might be the problem:
I was trying to use PCUnlocker on my own computer, just to try it out INCASE one of my brothers forgets his password since one of them always change password and have forgotten it 2-3 times in the past... With that we had to restore his computer to use it again, but all the files was deleted...

So i downloaded that program + CD2ISO to "burn" it to a USB. Thereafter i launched into BIOS to change the boot order that my USB is first.. Well i tried it a couple of times and it didn't work...
I then remember that i (a long time ago) downgraded my PC from windows 8 to 7 and that i had do some stuff in BIOS in order to install Windows 7.. Let just speed up a bit and say that i returned to Windows 8 after a couple of months..BUT the settings i did was still there from the changes i made..
Sooo this time i clicked the button "Restore Defaults" in BIOS to make everything i changed as it used to be.. So i saved and the USB still didn't boot.. So i shut down the laptop and didn't do anything.. But as to yesterday when i booted up my laptop that happened :(
I didn't think that the program would cause all this problem even though it didn't even work :(
Do you think that was the problem? And is the only way to restore it?

Wow :O
But all i did was to restore the settings to default in BIOS.. Would that really crash my entire computer? :O
I have the original disk for windows 8.. Should i try to restore the laptop?
