    Hello,

    I opened my laptop and removed the hard drive to check my wifi antenna. After reassembling the computer, the laptop is no longer booting and it goes straight to the BIOS 205.

    In the BIOS, under 'Boot' I don't see any option to boot the HDD first. The only 2 options are:
    UEFI boot - disabled
    PXE rom - disabled

    I run W7 64-bits. What should I do?

    Thanks!

    Mike

    Have you tried removing and reseating the hard drive. It sounds like its not seeing the hard drive.
