Not sure if it sees my hardrive ?

[bravenbark]

My windows won't start up. I start it up and it asks to insert boot media or select proper device. I built my own pc and it worked fine for about 2 weeks.What should i do? I still have the install disk and the uefi bios 'doesn't seem to see the hard drive.It is a seagate 1 tb. Any suggestions? Thanks

boot from the install disk and run startup repair.

i start it up, and it loads to the windows install screen.I press repair your computer in the lower left hand corner. It then brings me to a window caleed system recovery options. No drivers are listed so I press load drivers. What files do I choose. Am I doing this right?

What motherbd do you have, look in the support section of the manufacturers website for a pre-installation driver. This would only apply for a non-Amd or Intel chipset. If you have amd or intel then it looks like your drive has died, or a cable has come loose.

If you go into your bios is the drive seen there?

It doesn't see it but I can feel it spinning up when I hold it in my hand.

Make the sata cables are firmly seated into the drive first then try plugging it into another sata port on the motherbd.

Also in your bios make sure the sata ports are enabled set to ahci. If that recognizes the drive but blue screens on windows boot try setting it to ide or compatibility.
