[RESOLVED] Reboot and select a proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device a
I recently built a new computer, I installed a sata hard drive and put windows XP on it with out problems. I have been using the computer for a few days now and I just started running into this problem. When I try to restart the computer, I get the message "Reboot and select a proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key". I have tried powering off the computer and one out of about five times it will boot normally. Every other time I get this error message. I have checked all the cables and everything seems to be ok. I have set the bios to default and nothing changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Reboot and Select proper boot device!
Just 10 minutes ago, my computer was running fine.... but the usual error i get is when my graphics card messes up (tried looking for solutions but to no avail) and usually ill either ctl+alt+delete and tab back in and it will be fine, or ill have to restart cpu ( which is what i did in this situation) and when i started up the message occurred ( missing operating system ) so i was like wtf?! so i restarted it again ( same message, checked cords etc. ) and restarted again, and now this message pops up and this is my brothers computer who is now enlisted in the air force, and gave his computer to me... but i cant seem to find any disks of his he used. or anything. im not very computer savy so you have to be patient with me, but i cant get rid of this message and start up the computer normally....
PLEASE HELP!! - Sincerly,
