So, yesterday my laptop decided to die and doesn't want to boot. It gives me an error that it needs a device to boot from. It reads my hard drive and everything else in the bios. I've tried a different hard drive but the same thing happens. Right before this happened my computer updated. Anyone know of this problem?
I'm thinking I might need to change the bios. Worst fear is that my power source is shorted out or fried. I still have others computers, so I will still be around.

I bet smashing it over your head would work better!

my laptop will not boot either but it is because it needs a boot disk aka windows

do you still got your windows disk? if so try putting that in.

or you can try a system restore

There's nothing wrong with the hard drive. My guess is it's the bios or the power source for the hard drive.

Stupid question, but do you have a USB drive plugged in?
