    I have this problem with my asus u45jc. I had a friend take out my old 320gb hdd and installed a 250gb Samsung pro ssd. I then installed windows 7 and then utility cd and everything was good. I used it for few days and no problem. Today I opened my computer and got this message. What am I suppose to do? The only thing I have with me is the asus installation cd and the utility cd. I don't have the old hdd anymore. Also I don't have much on my laptop so I don't mind reinstalling it but someone say this doesn't work? I tried putting asus reinstall cd and then after I type partition whole hard drive it displayed a huge error that was very big that.


    Someone in another forum mentioned they fixed this in 5 minutes but can someone explain to a non computer person how to fix this fast? Someone also asked this but no one answered.


    Basically this message shows every time I power it on.

    I hate to state to obvious, but the correct HD is selected in your bios menu, right?

    On an Asus notebook, pressing Esc on boot usually brings up the boot menu.

    Try selecting the SSD as the device to boot from.

    I didn't mean the boot tab, but you should be able to set boot options in the boot tab as well.

    Under boot option priorities, only the DVD drive shows? The SSD should show there as the next option too. Try changing option #1 from DVD to SSD if you can.

    Under boot options only that drive shows. What do I do then?
    I'm very desparate now. I'm in another country and I'm using my itouch to type this. And I'm apartment searching while staying at hotels. Extremely stressed bc of this. Should I just pay computer store money to fix this?
