  1. Problems booting after removing HDD


    My system has Windows installed on my SSD, but was previously installed on my HDD which i had formatted right after the transfer. Right now i am having some problems with my HDD, it not showing up on the BIOS menu and making weird noises. After this happened, i have been unable to boot up windows from my SSD. I have no idea what happened and how to fix it.

    Problem at boot up

    Okey, ill try to remove my oc, but its really hard to tell if it will fix the problem, because as i said it happens randomly, not on every boot up. If its my oc, what might be the problem? My pc is also new, its almost 2 months old.

    Problems booting HDD / win10 install problems


    Thanks for the reply.
    Fixed the wifi problem on my own laptop that way, but my step dad did not know how to do this so he just started win7 recovery and than got stuck in loop. Want to try to restore win7 but Microsoft wont let me dowload the file and my step dad cant find any recovery disk. I can try to run from the backup, but the backup file was made by connecting the hdd as external to another laptop when he got stuck in the windows install loop. Tried clean installing win10 from media creation time for like the 10th time yesterday, but at the end of the install the laptop automatically restarts and starts the process over again (using the custom install option).

    Another major problem atm is, as mantioned, that the laptop wont read / boot from the hdd. I can find it in the boot menu(as number 1 when not using usb). But the toshiba skips this step and goes straight to booting from network card. This means that i cant use the automatic install option on media creation tool, since it tells me to remove usb unit and restart (boot from hdd), and continue installation...

    any tip on getting the hdd to boot or how to get a leagal win7 install file?

    Problems booting after removing HDD

    Problems booting to Dos in Vista 64

    the problem is that you're choosing USB HDD. you need to choose HDD, and then pick the USB drive from the list.

    THe problem is not vista, its gigabytes illogical BIOS boot menu.
