Alright so I am working on OC'ing my 6600K and I ended up failing a OC before windows could even load.

It made it to the preparing recovery options screen or whatever when I got impaitent and just rebooted. Now I can't boot into windows.

Both my Windows SSD and my storage HDD are detected by the motherboard but when I go to the boot menu there are no options.

How do I fix it?

Define "failed". Like you went too far on the frequency/voltage?

Start by going to stock bios settings, then try to boot normally. You shouldn't need to mess with Windows recovery.

To far frequency, not enough Voltage.

Windows literally won't boot.

It will if I put the SSD in my macbook tho

Again, can you make it to the BIOS? Just reset to defaults/remove your overclock.
