Reboot or select proper boot device

If it all appears fine then you can al so check that HD is set first to boot in BIOS setup and work through these Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 unless you are now looking forward to a reinstall with our help.

Just a little reminder. Downloading anything these good people suggest using a utorrant is not wise.

Im not, im using the direct links on the blue links that have been posted

Ok i have followed the steps and put everything onto the USB i have changed the boot sequence to USB first, but when i load it up the PC says 'BOOTMGR is missing press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart'

Sorry if im getting something wrong but i am following the instructions to the best of my knowledge

Yes at start up it says BIOS press Del and Boot Menu press F12

Then, wih the bootable USB plugged in, restart the computer ctrl+alt+del ... and while power on, press and hold F12, until a list of all possible boot devices appear.

Select the USB using up/down scroll arrow keys, and hit enter.

I have just tried that and it still says BOOTMRG missing. Is there any software i can download and burn onto a dvd rather then cd to check the condition of my HD. As once i can show what state it is in, hopefully you guys can put an end to this problem :)

Ok i tried running a test on the HDD, i downloaded the correct software started the test and when i had the Onboard SATA mode set to AHCI it said it could find no drive, but when i changed it to Native IDE it found the drive and said i dont have the right version. yet i cant find the right WD diagnostic tool for my HDD
