Hi,
I have just returned home after a couple of days and found my PC with a message "reboot and select a proper boot device....". I leave my PC on as use it for streaming music. The pc has an ASRock P55 motherboard with 2 x 1TB Samsung HD103 drives
I tried to boot from CD as well but BIOS not recognising boot disk or DVD drive but is recognising 2nd drive. Have tried swapping the Sata cables between drives and that then allows BIOS to recognise the DVD drive. Puting windows 7 disk in tries to re-install operating system as it obviously can't read the boot drive.
Does this mean that boot drive has failed or is there anything else I can try?
Thanks
Nigel
