Hey guys
looking for some assistance.
I was formatting an external hard drive that was in a caddy to FAT 32.
For some reason, this has effected my laptop booting up. I presume formatting the above mentioned external hard drive above has caused the error. Maybe it was the software i was using. I definitely specifed the relevant drive, not the boot drive!
Anyway, everytime I start the laptop it tries to boot from the dvd drive. I go into the bios and change the boot order to hard drive and then cd drive and it still tries to boot from the cd drive. Presume there is some sort of corruption in the windows start up procedure.
Any idea where i can go from here. Im not sure where i put the Dell recovery disc (i know, my fault) but i also presume that if i did have it it would delete the contents of the hard drive? Dont want this option as there is a load of family pics on there that I want to keep.
any advice greatly received!
