recognising sata hard disk drive  Last response: in Storage  My
pc froze a couple of weeks ago so did a restart. Nothing
happened but DISK BOOT FAILURE , INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS

but really want my pc up and running. I should add that someone
has checked my original hdd and lent me eternal caddy to
transfer the data still on it to new HDD. HOW can I get my hard
