my computer was working fine before i went to sleep. i woke up to my computer with a black screen and just a blinking underscore mark in the top left corner. I reboot the computer and it does the memory test and then straight back to the black screen. I can crtl-alt-del and the computer restarts. i can boot into BIOS and see its still seeing the HDDs.

When i try to boot from BIOS on each of the HDDs and boot manager. I get the blank screen with the underscore mark to appear each time. Only one of the HDDs stops at the point and says "boot manager missing". It WON'T even boot to windows boot manager.

so I took the HDD that had the OS on it and hooked in my computer to boot to it. Still did the same thing it did in my wifes' computer. So have figured it is the HDD.

I can pull up the files on the HDD when I hook it up through USB. So I guess that is a good thing.
