HDD errors in bios, also issues in repair
Hi everyone.
I'm having a problem with my HDD. Last night my computer was working perfectly fine, but this morning while my bios was starting I received: 'Reboot and select a proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device' on the screen.
I'll tell you I have one HDD which is partitioned into C: with all the system files and D: with stuff I just want to put in it. I noticed when I went into the bios, no Slave IDE was detected, I am not sure whether this has anything to do with the problem (I can't remember if there was one) because there are not two HDDs.
But anyway, I put in my windows 7 install disc, select repair, and in there it cannot detect anything for some reason. Then I just continue into command prompt, run diskpart and type in 'select disk 0' and it returns 'the disk you specified in not valid'. I'm a bit confused as to what has happened, since I didn't really do anything to it between the time it was working and the time it was not.
Help would be really appreciated.
