I new to this so I'm not too sure of what i'm doing. Here's my problem, when I power on the system the startup logo screen appears for a second and then the following message appears "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key". Some of the help forums I have read said it could be a faulty hard drive, but I wanted a second opinion. Any idea what this issue could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using a gigabyte Z77x-UD3H motherboard and a TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" hard drive.
