I was watching the new episode of The Big Bang Theory and I noticed my laptop was lagging. I decided to restart it, but when it was booting up, I was stumped with an error.
Checking media fail... No bootable device.
I shut it down by pressing the power button and I heard somewhat continuous clicking sounds coming from my internal hard disk drive. I entered BIOS and my HDD isn't there, it seemed to not detect it.
I didn't do anything with it for a couple of hours (I met a friend). When I got back at it I turned it on and the hard drive made the clicking sound once and it led me to this screen asking me to enter my HDD/SSD password - - which I have no idea what kind of password it is asking.
Tomorrow I might reseat my internal HDD and maybe reset the BIOS through CMOS battery removal. These are the things I can just do, and clearly I need extensive professional help. But I'm giving this post a shot. I have important files in my HDD and yes, I'm a fool for not backing up.
Any ideas and suggestions are welcome. Good day!
