SSD Crashed After Power Outage - Need Help Installing New One Please

[dazzlenet]

Put your old HDD in and see if you can boot from that before you do anything to the BIOS. If it won't boot, what are you seeing when trying to boot?

I have the old HDD installed and all I put on it originally were the libraries and other various programs b/c I used the SSD for Windows 7. Do you want me to install it where I now have the SSD? Would it boot from it if there's no operating system on it? Thanks!

No, it won't boot. I thought you had Win 7 on it. -- You would want your SSD in since it has Win 7 on it. On your boot order in BIOS, you want to have your DVD/CD as your first boot and the Win 7 SSD as your second boot. == Have you tried booting since you got into BIOS. Maybe something changed. Give it a try and tell us EXACTLY what is happening, screen by screen when you try to boot. What is the screen that stops you from getting Win 7 started.

I finally figured it out. All I had to do was take the battery out of the mother board for about a minute, replace and boot computer. BIOS came up as it should have. What a pain these things can be when troubleshooting and then end up being something so simple.

This thread can be closed. I need to post my recent dilemma as a new topic. Thanks everyone!!!

Resetting your bios to default as per your motherboard manual instructions should of done the same thing if done correctly.
