I have a Sata hard drive with Windows 7 installed, have been working until this morning when I turned my computer on and found a message saying "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter". So I went into BIOS and found that no drives were detected. I tried changing the cables around and came up with one hard drive being detected, however it isn't the one with Windows, but a back up.
So I tried to test a few things, sata cable in the same slot and using the same power cable, I plugged it into the back up drive that had been detected and it was found, but using the same sata cable and power cable to plug into the main Windows hard drive, it was still not recognised.
What can I do, does this mean my hard drive is pretty much dead?
Thanks for any response.
