    If the OP deleted the boot option and was with CSM enabled, one could try the selection "Add new boot option" and see if the HDD is listed there as well ...

    I agree though, if you skip the BIOS page, does it boot, and if not what error is given?

    It booted just fine before I did something to it, now it just boots directly to that page. I have a windows 10 disk but when I go to install it it says that windows can't be installed on the partitions.

    If it booted fine, you have no need to use the win 10 install disc, this is a matter of getting the boot mode correct, and pointing it to the hard drive to boot, IMHO ...

    If you went back and enabled CSM, and then hit to add a boot option, what options are given, give us a screenie if you can ...

    On the first MAIN screen in UEFI (bios), it should show the numbered SATA ports and what is physically attached to them. What does that show?

    And also RWOne's suggestion above too...

    The "Launch CSM" option is locked (?) and inaccessible, is there any way to undo this?

    For the moment, let's review where we are.

    The hard drive is on sata0, good. It's being detected by the system.

    We need to:

    Determine the boot mode (UEFI/Legacy) and within either one once determined, get the hard drive selected as a boot device (doesn't have to be first, but ...)

    I'm 90% of reaching that you should set the BIOS defaults (don't do it though just yet)...

    did you try enabling CSM again and then selecting add a boot option (to select the drive)?

    I'm not sure how to enable the CSM, it's blacked out so I can't access it. Would I need to enable something else to reach it?

    It's an Asus F555YA-XO047T . It starts up here and if I save & exit it will just pop back up again.

    On this page hit add a new boot option, what happens?

    (Dont want to leave you hanging but I may have to go fly in a bit ...)

    That's alright. It comes up "Add Boot Option" and underneath it "Path for boot option"

    I'm thinking at this point....

    F9 to load the optimized default options might be the best place to start over....

    You stated earlier:

    Do you know exactly what you did to it? Was it in the UEFI (bios) that you did "something" or was it in Windows?
