Hi, I’m very aware this discussion has been had before but I’m at a genuine loss as to what to try as my situation is slightly different.

My computer was working fine today, until I transferred a large amount of GoPro footage into a desktop folder to edit and delete. My computer completely froze, to a point where even the command prompt wouldn’t open, so I turned the laptop off using the button.
Ever since, I cannot boot my Device. In the bios I am picking up my hard drive so that’s not the issue.
I have tried switching to legacy support but that just makes a white message appear on boot that says no boot drive.
Additionally, the Lenovo automatic problem fixed thing on startup determined that it couldn’t boot due to a corrupt windows or something like that, and that I needed to insert a boot drive to recover.

My problem is, I don’t see how my windows could have corrupt just by moving some files, and I’m at a complete loss as to what to try next.


EDIT:
now my laptop is not picking up any hard disk, instead it is ‘not detected’.

Any help is appreciated.

Can you get to bios? Try resetting bios to defaults.

-create a windows10 installer via usb drive
-scroll near the middle of the article.... you have the option to 'Repair you computer' rather than installing windows 10

click that... look through advanced options... see if you can boot into windows 10 safe mode
if you can, move your personal files to online storage, usb drive, ext. hdd....
do a clean install of windows 10...

or click repair your computer and see if windows 10 can repair it.

"In the bios I am picking up my hard drive so that’s not the issue"


Presence of HDD in the BIOS is no guarantee that it's not faulty. If I was you I would test it with Seagate or WD diagnostic software for DOS which loads from a CD or pen drive, just to be sure the drive is healthy or otherwise.
