I recently took apart my computer for cable management, but when i started it up again, it says there is no boot media detected, even though my ssd with windows is registered in the bios. Any help is appreciated.
My specs:
Processor : AMD FX-6300
Motherboard : Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
Graphics Card : Asus Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti
RAM : 1x8GB Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 1866Mhz
Power Supply : Corsair CX430
Hard Drive : Western Digital Blue 1TB
SSD : Kingston V300 120GB
Case : CiT Spectre Black

Operating System : Windows 7 from disc but upgraded to Windows 10

Thank you for your time!

Made sure the SSD is the first in the boot order? If you restart your PC there should be an option to change boot order or go into the BIOS and it will be there :) some motherboards will detect the correct drives, others not :P

ys there is no boot media detected, even

"Boot Media" I think means your bootloader, which is commonly but not always on the same drive as windows.

I have had instances where my boot device (in bios) may be drive one because idk ubuntu was on it or something, and If I select to install windows on drive 2 then the bootloader goes and overwrites drive 1 with a windows bootloader and installs windows to drive 2.

In other words connect every hard drive in that PC up and try to boot from every single one?
