This is my build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/ShiunTraze/saved/jznp99
Earlier today I downloaded this software: http://eraser.heidi.ie/ thinking that it would clear up some space that had originally not been cleared. Foolishly, I ran it on ALL of my drives: HDD, ODD and Local Disk (C). I used the default file erasure method which said "British" something something "(Enhanced)(3 passes) at least that's what I could remember from it.
After running it my computer desktop turned blank green and I think it was green because that's the colour I set my desktop to before setting a wallpaper (I'm running Windows 10 btw). This led me to believe that all of my stuff had been deleted since my desktop appeared blank - my computer was frozen however and I couldn't do anything.
Next, my computer ends up at this page http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PctFo1mVwus/VLNz-41mynI/AAAAAAAAD9Q/DAIOw2kDQ-g/s1600/%D8%BA%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%81.jpg
with the same error. I don't remember if there was anything else on that screen but upon reaching 100% it stuck there - I wasn't sure if it was meant to do this or not so I pressed the restart button on my PC, rebooting the PC.
That was when I was confronted with the message: "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key".
I therefore went into the BIOS, and saw that my main HDD was in place after the ODD which had an arrow pointing to the HDD underneath Boot Priority (I run Asus so my BIOS may be different to some). So I switched them around and now my HDD is first in boot priority, with an arrow pointing to my ODD.
Also in Advanced Mode in Boot Option Priorities, my Boot Option #1 is my HDD and #2 us the ODD. So it seems as if my computer should be working alright but when I click Save Changes and Reset it comes up with that message still....really really frustrating, I'm worried that something has gone wrong with my PC from running that program in the way that I did.
