Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device - Not recognizing OS SSD

[knight202]

Hi All,

I was running Windows 7 64bit professional. Once, earlier this year on a restart I had the 'Reboot and select proper boot device' screen come up. I was confused and so I restarted the computer again and everything seemed to work fine. I then had to go work out of Province and have only just returned to my computer yesterday.

I tried starting it up and received this screen again. I have tried everything I can think of online with no luck. I've looked through the BIOS and the OCZ SSD I have isn't even being recognized by my computer. This SSD has my OS on it and so my computer is useless at this time.

I tried re-installing Windows 7 on my 2nd SSD but not I cannot seem to get the internet working on the computer so I cant even verify my product key.

I've tried swapping the SSD around since I know my 2nd drive is noticed but it still wont be recognized. As for why the internet wont work, I am not sure as its a hard wire connection. Anyways, I am looking for other suggestions as to why my SSD is not noticed. It frustrates me as last time this happened it still was able to load windows after I restarted again, so this time I cannot figure out what it is.

Hello mate now first up have you tried disconnecting all drives except the SSD? and then power up?

PS I meant to addmake sure there are no external drives attached too ie sticks or back spinners

When your in the bios check your complete time and date. If it's off you could have a motherboard batter going bad and loosing your settings. If things are correct select to set your bios to default and boot.

May or may not help.
