Reboot and select proper boot device. when I have the correct boot device is selected

[rvuz1013]

I was on my PC when it blue screened and when I went to restart it. And it tells me to select proper boot device. So what I did was put my only hard drive as the first and only priority, but it gives the same message. How do I fix this?

PC Specs:
Amd FX 8300
Gtx 980 graphics card
Gigabyte 970a-d3p motherboard
2tb toshiba hard drive
600 watt evga psu
12gb ram
No diskdrive

Thank You for your time

Hi,

Here are some guides or troubleshooting steps that may help.
- First is to make sure that the HDD is being detected in BIOS.
- If it's being detected and you've already set the HDD as the first boot device which didn't work your left with reinstalling Windows 10 seems like it has been corrupted.

Here's who to create a new bootable Windows 10 USB or disc:

Hi there rvuz1013,

I believe it will not hurt to try something simple as just attaching the drive with different cables(both SATA and power ones) to another SATA port.

In case you have some data stored on the drive, you may want to recover it with some data recovery tool for DOS mode. You can try the Ubuntu Live CD approach out: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/267999-32-recover-data-mode
After that, you can follow Laptop_Nerd's guide and perform a clean OS install.
It may be a good idea to check your drive's health status as well: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility

Hope this will help,

Would I have to delete everything on my drive to get windows 10 seeing that I already have it on the original drive?
