Windows 8.1 holding its home hdd hostage?

[Monchi]

Okay this is extremely scary for me, my conputer crashed so i reset it and then it gave me an error called bootmgr! I looked into the bios and saw one of my hdd isnt listed! But when i press F12 to the Boot menu its listed! So i picked the unlisted hdd and ran windows and when i got in avast and windows defender were closed!

Even now whenever i turn off my pc goes back to bootmgr!

Please help! Whats goong on with Windows!? Its a clean install and theres basically nothing in the hdd where it is installed.

Use this link as your resource. Startup Recovery will be your best option.

sounds like the bios isn't config properly

try the google... heres one link you can check step By step and try to fix the problem... try to check if the hdd is starting to lose files.

 

it may lose the "info" part of hdd that says what device it is.

First thing I'd do is replace the motherboard battery.

The problem is that the boot order dosnt detect the hdd where windows is installed. Just when i press f12 to the bpot menu that it finally sees it.

that means you don't have that hard drive set properly in the bios as the boot drive...you probably got another one set

 

under boot devices...you should have HDD priority options

Nooooooooo the problem is that the Hdd boot pripority list does NOT detect it for some reason!

Just imagine the delete key that leads to the bios dosnt detect the hdd but F12 which is some manual boot thing detect it!.

Why?

Because somehow you are losing boot settings in the BIOS.  It might not be a dying battery, but if it is then no other solution will work.

 

It's cheap, easy, and rules out one major possible source of the problem.

can you give us model of the motherboard or Computer model? it would be easyer to check what kind of bios it has
