I am currently having a problem with my Windows XP operating system. I am receiving the error message, “Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key.”
I have unplugged everything but the master hard drive and CD player.
The computer will still hit and miss on the load up.
I checked the BIOS settings and found that the boot sequence has the hard drive missing or scrambled.
I have run into this problem in the past and just reloaded windows again. This time I would rather save the data and get it fixed.
Any suggestions? I have even tried loading windows onto a new drive but still get the error message every few times. All cables are plugged in and computer runs at a cool temp.
