Boot issue

[decanard]

So basically I tried adding a new hdd to my pc using my cd drive's sata cable but what I didnt realize is that my cd drive was first on the boot priority list and idk how but when I tried plugging my cd drive back in it didn't work and now my pc wont boot. Help

You will need to make sure HDD is set to priority 1 in the main boot list and then go into the HDD priority list and make sure your old drive (the one with Windows on) is at number 1.

 

FTR it doesn't really matter about the optical drive, the system will only try to boot from that if it contains a bootable disc.

Find the key to enter the BIOS and mash it while the computer is turning on to re-arrange the boot order.

The key changes based on vendor, so may have to Google that one. For example, its F1 for HP.
