No Boot Device HELP!

[Parker6667898262]

Hello

 

I’ve been trying to work this out all day and nothing has worked. At this point I just want to completely reset it.

 

When I boot my computer it always says to provide a proper booting device. It is a black screen saying that.

 

Could someone please help me because nothing will work after a whole day of going on google.

 

Anything that will work I am fine with as long as I can get back into my computer.

Either a drive has failed, or it’s come unplugged. Try plugging your hard drive or SSD back in.

 

If it’s failed, you’ll need to get a new drive and your files are toast. That’s why backing up your system is so important. But hopefully it’s just unplugged.

I don’t think it is unplugged, but I think I do have a backup. Since I have a backup does that change anything, or shall I just get a new hard drive

How can I add a backup?

Too late for that if your files are already gone; if the drive is just unplugged or something then you can plug it back in and get a USB hard disk (I would not trust a thumb drive) and use File History from Windows to actively save a copy of your system.

 

since you have a backup already though, you can get a new drive and reinstall Windows
