I installed a new HDD and tried to boot my computer normally (it was working just moments ago). It failed to boot giving me the message “reboot and select proper boot device”
I tried new sata ports and cables, reseating some of the hardware, and resetting the CMOS but nothing solved the issue.
I grabbed a new SSD and did a clean windows install on it. Now my computer is running just fine but I would love my old copy of windows and all my programs back.
When I plug the original SSD into my computer it reads perfectly fine and all the necessary files appear to be there and windows can’t detect any problems with it. But when I select it as a boot device in my BIOS is just gives me the same message: “reboot and select proper boot device”
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
