Hello,
on my computer i have an old ide hd that i use, with an ide to sata adapter. i loaded windows 7 onto it. it was working fine, ujtil i conected another hd (sata) which also has windows 7 (a different edition) on it. this was taken from a netbook. when i started my computer up with both drives, it showed the windows loading screen, froze, then an error said windows failed to start. it then asked me if i wanted to start windows normally or repair. i hit repair, and it starts "repairing" but it didnt say what it was doing exactly. it just said attempting repairs. i tried to click cancel because it was taking too long and i figured the problem was that the new hdd was in master aswell as my original hdd. it said the current operation cant be cancelled. so i just held the power button until it shut off, the unplugged the new hdd. when i boot my computer now it says Reboot and select a proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device. i dont know what to do. can you guys help?
btw some of the guys on here helped me choose the parts for this computer, its kick ass big respect guys!
