I was using my computer and it was working perfectly fine. Me bein dumb I was tryna clean it and I unplugged one of my HDDs and then whole thing shut down. I knew I messed it up, it rebooted and I think I went into bios and messed around with the boot options cuz I wanted to move around some of my HDDs. So after I did that my PC turned back on and it wouldn't boot, probably because I forgot what order I needs to make everything in bios (I have a gigabyte motherboard if that has to do with anything). After tons of tries I kept getting an automatic repair thing when it booted. No matter what I did it just kept going back to that. I have no clue what's up with it. Idk if it has to do with the bios boot order or if somethings wrong with my HDDs or what. Can someone please help me? I'm totally lost and it's very aggravating!

Sounds like you messed up the boot order in the Bios. If you know what drive your System is on you can try unplugging all the other drives, setting up the HDD in the Bios as your boot drive (If you have a cd/dvd drive I'd set that up as first boot in case you need to boot from a OS or Recovery Disk) and see if it comes back up correctly, then shut down and reconnect your other drives.

If it still goes to the repair you may have corrupted the OS when it shut down improperly, so try the repair option or go to advanced and try booting from last good restore point - if it shows one.
