    Reboot and select proper Boot Device


    Ah damnit.
    Well, I came home the other day, woke up my PC from 'sleep' mode, and my computer froze. Everything stopped responding. I though this was weird, so I powered off my computer, then started it up again. It was taking longer to start up than normal, and then I hit a black screen. I got text coming up saying "Reboot and select proper boot device...." I went into BIOS and changed my priority order so my main hard drive containing all my sys32 was first.

    I figure a plug came loose in my comp. I've had it for around 2 years now, never had a problem. Months back, I had WIN7 installed and added a 2TB hard drive.
    Any ideas?

    Have you tried changing boot priority to your other hard drive?

    My computer isnt recognizing that Win7 has been installed on this computer.
    It's not recognizing the OS, even with the boot priority switched to all different drives.
