My PC was working fine up until today. After restarting it i was promoted with a message saying “Reboot and select proper boot Boot Device”. I then tried going into the boot sequence and heard noises from my hard drive, sounding like it’s spinning really hard or about to even break, i have reason to believe it’s a boot virus, and it’s so advanced that it freezes up the drive to where i can’t even get into the boot sequence to change anything. Is there anything i can do before buying a new hard drive and a new OS? I’m almost sure it’s a virus, could be another issue though.
