Hi guys,
not sure what the issue is here, BIOS or hardware, so please feel free to move as appropriate.

i've built my new puter, and part of that involved moving an HDD from my current machine, which had an SSD as the main C and another 500gb drive for files. i put the current machine bak together and booted to make sure it was ok, and to pull off the stuff in My Documents etc, and when i fire up i'm just getting the "Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device" message. i've checked connections and cables, all were fine, i checked the BIOS, the drive is listed ok. i managed to stick in the Win 7 disc, and the Repai options didn't solve anything, butin doing so there was a "load drivers" bit, and when i clicked that i managed to get some My Computer info; the C drive is still there, and everything is listed on it ok, but there's also an X drive called Boot, about 30mb if i recall.

any ideas how i fix this?

TIA
 
i've been through the BIOS, the disk's listed and it's the primary. i haven't changed the SATA cable, it was in port 4 for some reason ~ is it worth swapping it around?
is that thing showing an X: drive as Boot normal?
 
what do you mean by the last bit, reinstall the HDD i took out? i don't want to do that, it's already installed in the new machine; had a browse and can't see anyhting that looks like boot files anyway.
