My PC crashed to a blue screen and I did a stupid thing and hit the motherboard reset button before the memory dump was complete. Normally when I get this same error I wait for the memory dump to finish and then reset and everything is fine. Now when I try to boot my PC I get a black screen that says select correct boot device or insert media. I checked my bios settings and my boot drive is still set to the first boot device. Please help me!

guess it time for a backup and reformat the HDD

By "Reset" you mean you just reset the PC or you reset as in cleared the BIOS?

I am going to assume the 1st.

Did you check to see that your hard drive setting in the BIOS are the same as when you 1st had the system? SATA? RAID? IDE?
