I did that, the primary boot source is the main hardrive

So again, is the system UEFI or Legacy BIOS?

That's not very constructive or necessarily true. A hard drive doesn't just not boot for no reason and become completely unfixable.

If we can get into a command prompt we can investigate further.

Okay I cannot get into cmd...

The hard drive no, the hard drive is fine, it is windows which is screwed up.

Which is why you need a separate PC to get the data off, or you clean install.

Also are you using an x99 board?

 

You said you took the laptop drive out and reconnected everything.  Did you plug your previous boot drive into the exact same sata port as before?

Put the laptop drive back into the computer, and force it to boot from it INSTEAD of the original hard drive. That may very well fix it.

All you need to do is boot from a functioning Windows drive in that computer. I've done it many times.

When you see that error screen one of the options should offer Recovery options. In there you will find the Command Prompt, if it functions.

That doesn’t even come up that’s how messed up windows is right now...

Windows is fine, the MBR is looking for a different BCD boot file from the now disconnected drive.

Yes, I took the laptop drive out as I don’t need it anymore. I forgot I had enough space on another drive. And when I shut my pc fully off and took it out, then I restarted my computer and this error occurred.

so leave the laptop drive out. hook the original HD back up the way it was ( same cable on HD and board ). reset cmos. boot.
