I just did the stupidist thing ever. I have a 840 evo 120gb boot drive and a seabaracuda 2tb storage drive in my rig, and i went into disk management cause my external 500gb drive didnt show up when i plugged it in. In there i saw that my 2tb drive was inactive, so i made it active BEFORE reading the description. I tried to turn it back but i couldnt find out how.

So now when i turn on my pc i get a boot failure screen ( screenshot in a picture attachment ).

I inserted my usb boot drive and auto repair didnt work. I went into the command prompt from the repair menu and began with this:

X:\sources

Then i do:
>Diskpart
>List disk

And i see the 2 drives. I change the ssd boot partiton to active ( not the system reserved 350mb one)
I then make my 2tb single partiton unactive. I reboot and the same problem occurs, same error message as before.

Also in the troubleshooting menu was system restore, startup repair and image recovery, none of which worked.

I dont have a backup of my boot ssd, but if i were to wipe it, would i keep my games on my 2tb hard drive?

I really appreciate any help.

 

sorry the picture is upside down :3

There's your problem. The System Reserved one is supposed to be active, as this contains the bootloader.

Hello dear Linus lover,

 

I understand your issue, you silly cunt. I would advise you to boot into Windows first, second go to control panel and make sure your headphones are working, then go to driver manager>sound manager and make sure your drivers are up to date,

then follow this video 

 

 

I hope it was a frightful help, you delightful idiot.
