Reboot and select proper boot drive?

[spat55]

I've got this issue and here are the things I've tried. BIOS sees my drives and so does the windows 7 and 10 installation disk/USB

Reset the CMOS and swapped battery, this hasn't worked. I've tried reinstalling from a windows 10 ISO but it just came up with an error whenever I tried to install it to another drive. I've left the system unplugged for over 4 hours and still nothing and have no idea where to turn, going to try running a kaspersky anti-virus disk now from boot but I don't think this is going to help.

Any advice needed at this stage please :/

I've even disconnected all my drives except for my OS drive, but still nothing.

Hello

Can you please provide more information such as how many drives are connected to your PC, are you trying to install Windows 10 on an SSD drive, does your motherboard support UEFI, how did you create the Windows 10 installation USB drive, are you trying to upgrade your current OS to Windows 10 or you are trying a clean install, etc.?

There are many factors that may keep you from installing Windows 10. For example, if you are creating a bootable Windows 10 USB using Rufus, and your motherboard supports and is set to UEFI instead of legacy BIOS, you may need to choose FAT32 (Default) and GPT partition scheme for UEFI from the File system and Partition scheme and target system type drop-down lists respectively.

Please provide detailed information so we can give you an accurate solution for the issue.

Cheers!!

Well the PC was running fine then I rebooted and then get this error on the boot. I am running a 840 EVO 120GB (OS drive) BX100 500GB (Games) and 1 TB HDD (Media). Seems strange it stopped working when I only went to turn it back on and has since stopped booting, windows can see my drives whenever I use my windows 10 iso I got from the microsoft site.

This installation of windows 10 is a upgrade from windows 7 on release day and was working fine. I am using UEFI. Thing is it has been working fine for the past year but it suddenly doesn't want to work, almost like my sata ports have died considering my motherboard seems to be acting strange with it not always saving settings and me needing to refresh the BIOS.

Everything I can find on google hasn't helped so far and 24 hours in the PC is still down.

Hello again spat55

Many users are facing the issues while upgrading to Windows 10. Can you please tell which error is displayed - may be the exact error code if possible?

Also, because the motherboard is not able to save the settings, probably the boot device priority is automatically set to default and that is why the PC cannot find the boot disk.

If refreshing the BIOS fails, you can try changing the CMOS battery because many times it is the discharged CMOS battery that is the cause of the trouble.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!!

Already wiped the BIOS, ran default settings which since reflashing the Mobo with BIOS seems to hold settings. I had been running windows 10 for a couple of weeks till this happened yesterday, it just suddenly stopped working. The Windows 10 ISO doesn't want to run repair it just says the drive is locked, if I could unlock it I might be able to solve the issue.

Hello again

Did you try creating a System Repair Disc? If not yet, you can do so and try repairing your Windows.

This link and this link may help you with that.

Good Luck!!
