Greetings,

So this is what happened : I woke up this morning and turned on my pc and it didn't boot. The evening before it was working just fine. It said something like I had to select the proper boot device. At this moment i knew it was something with my SSD. After several attempts of fixing the problem and searching for solutions on the internet I learned about a thread that said my SSD is dead.

But thats not the main problem.

So I unplugged the SSD and decided to only use the HDD temporarily until my new SSD arrives. I made an USB stick with a windows installation on it and installed it on the HDD. Up to there, there was no Problem. Then i unplugged the usb stick and selected the HDD as the first boot device in my bios. Even with windows installed, it would tell me that i had to again select a probed boot device. And that's exactly the problem. The HDD gets recognized in the bios and 100% surely had windows on it and it doesn't work.

So, does anyone got a solution for me? That would make me really happy and i would be so thankful.
