I turn on my PC and can't access my secondary hard drive (I have two, internal). I take a look, plug them back in, and then:
"DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER,"
So I assume my primary HDD is borked, but it's showing up in the BIOS and not clicking or anything.
After a while messing around with W7 recovery stuff, I just unplug the secondary HDD and now everything works fine. Just, you know, I can't access anything on that drive (not to say it isn't all backed up).
Tl;Dr: why would a HDD besides the one I'm booting from cause a Disk Boot Failure message on Boot?
Update: That's odd. Plugged the second drive back in for the lulz and it works now. Windows 7 also claims to have "installed" it, like it was a new piece of software. What the frak is going on?
