Fric Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 :mad: I've just completed my first new build using intel i5, P8Z68V-Pro M/board, 4 x 4Gb DDR3 1333Mhz corsair mem, Corsair Force 3 SSD, 2Tb SeagateHDD. Perfect at first power up. (HDD disconnected) Set date/time and Optical drive as 1st boot. installed Windows7 to SSD allowing W7 to partition and align, which appered to go well. At this point I noticed the pc was only registering 16Gb of memory and I wrongly thought I'd bought 32Mb. I turned off, removed 1 stick and discovered I'd actually bought 4 x 4Gb. I rebooted with no problem then realised I had not reinserted fourth stick - turned of - installed and rebooted. Once I had carried out the mem test with internal botton all was fine and booted into windows - I updated and rebooted - all good. I installed M/S office 2010 (all new versions) - all good. Then updated - all good including online access. Today I was going to connect the HDD and transfer all files but when I came to boot this morning I was confronted with the message 'Reboot & select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device & press key'. I have tried to run Repair disc which I ran off in the course of software install but it had no effect and I also tried running Windows 7 again selecting Repair W7 but had no joy there either. I looked in the Bios and the boot sequence remains as SSD 1st boot. Every time I reboot I receive the same message and I have checked all connections several times. Clearly the PC is not recognising the software because it appears to see the SSD. Any suggestions would be a Godsend - my hair is all over the floor - They say a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing but no knowledge is a lot worse........................... Help please.http://b.tsgstatic.com/smilies/eek.gif Quote
KenB Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Reboot & select proper boot device or insert boot media This implies that the system cannot find an OS to boot. tried running Windows 7 again selecting Repair W7 Was this from the installation disk? Is the Win7 disk a full installation disk - not a copy ? Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!
