Windows 10: I’m getting the “Reboot and select proper boot drive” error message

I have an SSD with the OS, but it isn’t showing up in bios in “Boot Option”, only my HDD is (It also says “disabled”). Does this mean my SSD died? I have some important schoolwork saved on my ssd, is there any way to check if it still works?

Edit: In boot override my ssd shows up as “SATAFIRM S11”

Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device...after reboot?

Hello all. Getting a little frustrated here. A couple of weeks ago we had a user come in on a Monday morning to find that her pc was displaying the classic message "Reboot and select proper boot device...". Tried popping in a windows disk and fixing the MBR, no luck. Ended up reinstalling windows and her few programs back on it. All was good after this. For about a day. She came in the next day to find the same message. So at that point we decided that more than likely the drive was bad even though oddly enough it tested out fine. It was a Corsair 60gb SSD.

Last week we swapped that Corsair with a 64gb Crucial SSD and installed Windows. We then created a backup image of that drive. All was good until Thursday when her power strip that the PC was plugged into got tripped. Start up the computer for find "Reboot and select proper boot device..." message. So, apply the backed up image to the SSD since repairing the MBR didn't work.

Now this morning she comes in and the PC is running fine. Attempts to open Microsoft Word and she gets a pop-up stating there isn't enough disk space. So, she then restarts and upon booting back up gets "Reboot and select proper boot device..."

Any ideas what is causing this? Is it something with the mobo or do I just have horrible luck and replaced the bad SSD with another bad SSD?

 

Reboot and select proper boot device error message

windows 10 automatically updated itself last night and I woke to the "Reboot and select proper boot device" error message. I was able to enter into the BIOS mode and verify that my hard drive was the default boot option. Still no luck after several attempts.


Not sure what else it could be. Anyone able to get through this?
