Change your boot order, should be f10 or f11 upon turning on your PC.

 

Also you posted your thread in a the wrong section, this belongs in troubleshooting. Get a mod to move it.

Pull out the mobo battery for a minute of 2 while the pc is unplugged

Pull the battery for a while... change the boot order... what happens when you turn your PC on? What does the screen display?

 

Don't worry your HDD is not going to lose its data it's just not being accessed that is all. You would be able to plug it into another pc if all else fails and recover your data so take a chill pill fella.

Doesn't recovery work without data loss? If so, just let you pc do it. But don't rely just on me, take a look on google (windows recovery data loss) or wait for another forum member to second my post (if I am right)

 

P.s. I use a german version of windows, so I'm not sure if recovery means what I think it means.

i am not quite sure on google i dont find good answers

Sorry, I think I was wrong. I mistook recovery for something else.

 

But If you can't solve the problem software wise and you can't just stick your harddrive into another pc, maybe you could use a usb to sata cable. (if there is absolutely no better solution)

i have some other HDDs and a usb sata cable but what should i do then. I think it is a fail in BIOS that it doesnt give me the option to change the settings back
