Following a bios update, my PC restarts now to a black
screen message 'Reboot and Select proper Boot device or
Insert Boot Media in selected Boot Device'. I may have
installed the wrong bios update downloaded from the Intel
web site. This PC came with two(2) recovery disks. When I
try to boot from the 1st one the message appears 'No Hard
Disk Found' Recovery denied. Have I trashed this PC or
is there someway to boot back in? Thanks for any help!
