Make sure you unplug any external hard drives or USB flash drives in case they are causing confusion in the boot order and try again. If no good and you have double checked connections on Hard drive insert your Windows DVD, boot from it and try a boot repair at least three times.

How does Windows work fine if you're being asked to select proper boot device?

I also should've said that the secondary HD mentioned is a slave drive. and yes I know what the difference is and yes I've made sure that the HD with the OS installed is the one being booted from. Right now after messing around in the BIOS I have miraculously managed to enter the OS. I still have no idea what I had done. This problem first occurred when I had done a fresh install into a new HD that I had received from WD due to HD failure with the previous one. (Warranty) Once the install was finished and my computer was up and running again I had restarted the computer after installing several programs as you do. But then once the restart had initiated that's when I ran into this problem. Right now I'm on my computer after a long attempt of 'fixing' this. I still would like to know what the problem was. Maybe if the 'problem' could be identified I would have a piece of mind and actually solve this issue properly without having the fear of turning off my computer. and having the problem happen again. |

You are most likely attempting to boot from the wrong hard drive, check the settings in your bios.
