Alright so I put the cmos battery back in and configured the time settings on it, but it still gives me that same message after the bios screen: "reboot and select proper boot device, or insert boot media in slected boot device and press a key"
it was yesterday, but upon inspection the drive no longer shows up in boot, i made sure everything was connected right so I don't know why it wouldst be there.
Please boot from recovery media, go to the advanced troubleshooting options and open command prompt
In command prompt enter the following commands
{x} is the number of the disk where the OS is installed on, normally it is 0, zero, so in that case enter the command 'Select disk 0'.Code:Diskpart List disk Select disk {x} List partition
Please make a photo of the command prompt and post it, I would need to see the partitions of the system.
It sounds like your hard drive has already given up on you, but I have seen it also being caused by partition problems.
Attachment 49813 the disk doesn't show up, only the 15gb usb
not currently no
I was greatly afraid of that, I had just bought the drive within the past couple months so it's extremely disappointing that I have to buy a new one again.
Isn't there warranty on the hard drive?
This is a faulty hard drive, with a new purchased hard drive I would think you would get a replacement.
