    How do I go back to booting from HDD?


    I installed W10 using a USB and in so doing went to the BIOS of my PC - a Dell Optiplex 755 - to boot from the USB containing the software. Now it's all installed, I wish to revert to booting from the HDD. The options offered are


    SATA0-ST3250310AS, or..

    Onboard or USB or CD-ROM Drive


    Which should I choose please, and why? Thank you.

    Changing boot hdd

    I downloaded PartitionMagic8.0, but the partition i want to make is not bootable.
    So the system boots from the old, loud hdd, and when i unplug the old, it doesnt boot.
    Any advice or suggestions how to change boot hdd without reinstalling Winxp?

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.
