Hey everyone. Im having a little issue here. I have a SSD Corsair 128gb M4. It seems like if i ever do a reboot without rebooting the computer the proper way i get a boot up about rebooting and selecting the proper boot device.

Im not sure what to make of it. I have to use the Win 8 cd to repair then im able to jump back in windows. Its kinda funny though because when this happens my bios can't even read the drive until i do the windows 8 repair. Any ideas?

It means that the default Boot in the BIOS is configured for another device that is Not in the system or it a device that does not have boot capacity.

As an Example in some systems external USB Drive that it is plugged in all the time might end up being the Default Boot.


:cool:

I dont think im having that issue.

If i reboot normally its fine but if i turn off my pc by holding the power button it corrupts the boot file or something. I then have to use the Windows 8 Pro cd to repair it. Any ideas why it does this?

I only found out about the issue because i had to reboot my pc when the nvidia drivers didn't work.
