Reboot and select proper device error (Windows 10) help me

[anime dad]

So when I start up my PC this comes up

Intel UNDI, PXE-21 (build 083)

This product is covered by one or more of the following patents :
US5, 307 , 459 , US5,434,872 US5,732,094, US6,570,884 US6,115,776 and US6, 327, 625

Realtek PCIE FE Family Controller Series v1.22 (03/16/10)

CLIENT MAC ADDR: (should I show this?)

PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM.

Reboot and Select proper Boot Device
Or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key,

When I go to the boot menu the same thing comes up and when I do F10 I'm in the bios menu but it doesn't have that much boot options or not much options

Does the BIOS show the available HDDs ?
Sounds like the HDD is dead.

Set the HDD as the 1st boot device

or unplug any usb drives when you reboot

It looks like it tries to boot from your network adapter, wich fails (As it should) and then doesn't detect your harddrive as alternative.

Make sure the harddrive is set as 1st boot option in the bios.
If it's set in the bios and still won't boot, or not showing in the bios at all, you may have a broken drive or mainboard.

It's also possible the cables just came loose. Open the case and make sure everything is connected properly.

Well it jumps to trying to boot from network, because it is clearly skipping over the HDD since it apparently can't even read from it.

Inspect your internal cables; unplug all the SATA connections and re-plug them in again.

Rid the boot order of OTHER devices, so just the OS SSD/HDD is the boot device.

If after this the Drive still does not boot. You will want to either:
- Boot from Hirens BootCD, run HDD Diagnostics.
- Boot from a Linux LiveCD, run HDD Diagnostics.
- Remove the HDD from this system and connect to another working system as a secondary drive and run HDD Diagnostics.

I don't have a SATA

SATA: Serial AT Attachment
This is the cable that would go from your hard drive to the motherboard. If you're not sure what it looks like, just google it.

I personally haven't had a hard drive that was connected with an IDE cable for a long time (10 or more years). The IDE cable can't be mistaken for any other cable in your tower if you did use one, it's a wide (about 2 inches wide), flat cable.

Ok so check the cables and check that the BIOS sees the Drive.
If not then it's probably dead, IDE is VERY old.

Also this is what the bios menu's boot section is for me https://twitter.com/Jayo96_RBLX/status/752199165254438912/photo/1

Just list the Motherboard model, then we can view the entire BIOS from the User PDF Manual.

And that is just list of boot drives, if u would actually enter the sub-menu below.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

*sigh*

What is the Motherboard model?
Or we can't help you.

Unless you know the brand and model you need to.

if you can get to windows you dont need to open the case

post a cpuz validation link

cpuz -> validate button -> submit button
it will open a browser, copy the url (address) and paste it here

If you have checked all the cables on your HDD and on your MB, nothing is loose - most likely the issue is a bad HDD.

If you have another data cable you can use on the HDD, try using it.

If you have an external HDD enclosure, you can always try putting your HDD in there and connecting it to a USB port to see if it reads the HDD.

If you don't have an external HDD case, you can always try connecting the HDD to another computer. If the HDD is old, it may require you to adjust the master/slaver jumper on it when you connect it to another computer. All you want to do here to just to test and see if the HDD can be read by the other computer, you don't need to boot into Windows from the disk.

If you can't do any of the above, take your computer to a repair shop and let them deal with it.

Most likely if it's not a loose cable, the HDD is dead.
