I was just reorganizing the cables in my PC and when I tried to turn it on again this "startup.nsh" thing popes up and it is saying that it cannot find required map name. And I don't know how to get out of it and go to my desktop. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP...

F12 is device boot options?

F2 is BIOS?

F12 is BIOS for me...

Press all of them then.

hp and dell often use f2, f10, f12 for bios
most aftermarket boards are del

Either swap the SATA cables back on your hard drive to the original one... or correct the boot order under your BIOS.

It's currently trying to boot from the wrong drive.

I went into my bios and I went to the boot options but I don't know what to do from there. (Sorry if I sound stupid really new to this stuff)

When you re-organised your cables... you are talking about the cables inside your PC case?

Do you have more than one hard drive too?

There's some cables which goes from the motherboard to the hard drive(s). These are most likely SATA cables, on the motherboard they have multiple slots for them (SATA_0, SATA_1, SATA_2, etc - perhaps even GSATA if a Gigabyte motherboard).

By default the motherboard attempts to boot off them in order... starting with SATA_0. However, that order could be changed around under the BIOS.

So if you have a 2nd storage hard drive, rather than your Operating System drive, it's attempting to boot off, it will fail. By swapping the cables around, you can resolve this boot order, or you can attempt to change it under the BIOS (whatever way you perfer and is easier for you).

If you want to do it under the BIOS, it will depend on the motherboard model to how this is done. BIOS might be different... it's best to check the motherboard manual.
