It all started with a blue screen of death (in this instance target mdl too small (0x00000040)).
In the midst of getting help with that problem, my computer finally refused to boot up. In an attempt to force the issue (there was info I needed for the next step to fix the initial problem) I chose the 'boot to utility' option without first looking into what it was. Now I'm getting this:
No boot device available, wait for Enter key to retry.
SATA 1: Installed
SATA 2: Installed
SATA 3: None
SATA 4: None
I've already got everything off the drive I want to keep, so now it's just a matter of getting the OS to start booting up again. Or is this a hardware issue now?
