    reboot and select proper boot device.


    Hi, i wasn't sure what section to put this problem in so decided on general. I have a asus x53e notebook that was on balanced on two corners to press in the charging cable ( not the problem ). It was knocked over and now when starting up i get the message on a black screen Reboot and select proper device. If i pressf2 when starting up i can get the bios screen but am unsure what happens after that. Usual searches on google cant help me. Thanks for any replies.

    Hi there, Welcome to SevenForums.com

    Sounds like your hard drive has got damaged in the fall. Can you open up the hard drive section of the laptop and check is properly connected and not fallen out of place?

    Let us know how you get on,

    Boot into BIOS setup now to see if the HD is detected at all.

    If not about all you can do is reinstall it to see if it's making proper contact. If not then replace it and either run your Factory Recovery disks or Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 using the installer for your licensed version.

    A shock can damage the internal parts, or it might just cause it to shift enough that it isn't seated firmly to the contacts. So that's why I suggested reinstalling it. You can google for a video to reinstall your model PC's HD. But first check if its even detected.

    Once you get into the bios, you want to see if your hard drive is being detected.

    Are you able to get into the bios ?
