Unable to boot.... - 14th Feb 2011 12:24pm
Hello all,
Recently been given a computer. After POST I get this msg:
'boot failure reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device'
or sometimes
'boot failure insert boot diskette in a'
Now, I'm new to all this and learning so I understand this could be a loose hard drive connection (Power and SATA leads are seated correctly), harddrive failure (I have 3 harddrives, get the msg on them all even though they work in my other computer) or something else - I'm hoping someone can suggest this.
Could it be a possible fault with the MOBO?
Thankyou in advance
