Bootmgr is missing // BSOD inaccessible boot device
Ok y'all, it's like I am playing a fishing game to get my computer started most of the time.
First, when I start the computer I get bootmgr is missing. (My main drive is the first boot up device is BIOS)
Then after reset and hit escape to load boot menu, my main drive is number one and I just hit enter.
After that, it may or may not start to load windows. If it does not load windows I get the error inaccessible boot device. If it does, then great. I am fine until the next restart.
If I have to reset twice, to try and get windows to load, it will go to "automatic repair tool" of which I get choose your keyboard layout.Neither my mouse or keyboard work.
This has literally cost me hours just trying to start my computer. I am not computer illiterate, nor am I an expert. But I can tell you I upgraded my hard drive about two years ago. When I had windows 7 it started just fine. I recently did a fresh install (hp recovery) and again in windows 7 it booted just fine. Then I did the upgrade to win10 and got my problem again.
On a side note, before I did a fresh install, I have an external usb HDD, and I unplugged it when I restarted my computer (trying to troubleshoot this problem) and I lost my main internal hard drive in the boot menu (but it would show in BIOS) after hitting escape upon startup. That was what caused me to do the fresh install. Yes, I unplugged the external drive when doing the fresh install.
I don't see any startup repair options, and everything always checks out OK on any diagnostics program.
I am including a screenshot with disk management because I think it might have something to do with that.
I was thinking that it had something to do with the main drive not being the MBR drive, but I don't know enough about it.
I am at a loss, it's a great computer, it just needs to start up.
PC Specs are HP 6520F upgraded RAM/HDD/Graphics cards/Power supply. Windows 10. I don't really think it's a hardware issue as my computer runs just fine when it starts. But I am not sure if its a windows issue or an HP kind of thing.
I tried to be as detailed as possible. If you need any other info, of course I will be waiting to answer.
Thank you.
