When I boot my computer it says reboot and select proper boot device

When I try and boot my computer it says reboot and select proper boot device, how do I solve this issue?

Would like someone to tell me step by step how I should fix this problem in my bios, I have a gigabyte motherboard.

It may not be fixable in your BIOS. What did you change, if anything, before this happened? It may be that your hard disk has just failed.

I did not change anything before this happened, the computer worked perfectly fine the day before

If you didn't change anything, you will have to go into the BIOS and see if the disk drive is listed. If not then your disk may have failed.

How do I tell if the disk drive is listed?

 

[kanewolf]

It should be listed on the main page of the BIOS as one of the known devices. That isn't a guarantee of anything, but if it doesn't show up, you know what the problem is.

What do you mean with the main page of the bios?

If that statement doesn't make sense, I recommend you get a more computer savvy person to examine it hands-on. I don't believe I can guide you remotely.

On my bios there is no page that is the "main menu", maybe you are talking about "Bios Features" or "System information"?

Get the mobo manual out and read it; the answers are in there (RTFM). if you dont have it, go download the pdf version from the mobo support page (on your mobile - as your PC isnt working).
