Hey Guys, I ran into a bit of problem, my computer won't start, it takes a second for it to get out of BIOS (the one at start up) then the screen goes black and and then it beeps twice... what could be wrong?

Is it detecting the HDD or SSD in the BIOS?

Yes it does, it says something along the lines (when it boots again) HHD installation failed or something like that... i'll double check

Verify that your drives are completely plugged in. I would also clear the CMOS for good measure.

How can I do so if it won't start? 

Are you aware of how to clear the CMOS?

It's says word for word:

 

ERROR: 

2100: HDDO (Hard disk driver) initialization error (3)

 

Press <ESC> to continue.

Try your HDD in another system. I haven't seen that before
