error code 1962 - no operating system found

After downloading the free Windows 10 upgrade, my son received error code 1962 "no operating system found". He had to do a hard reboot to get the computer to thaw. The same error code came back yesterday. We changed out the SATA cable, and received the
error code at boot up. I then got into the diagnostic screen at boot up and found the spot that looked promising, "save default settings" when I hit enter, and restarted the computer, it was all good.

My advice to fellow windows users, wait for a while to upgrade to windows 10, there are some bugs that still need to be ironed out.
