Dear AdaOz,

Thank you for posting your query to the ASRock forum.

When a hard drive is installed and the system asks for the media to boot.

There are three possibilities that can cause this:
1. HDD/SSD does not have OS included.
   -Install the OS.
2. HDD/SSD is broken.
   -Try checking if the HDD is working on a different system.
3. If your HDD has OS installed but shows the message:
   -Try installing the HDD to different SATA ports.
   -Try different SATA cables.
   -Try the HDD on a different system.

With thanks,
ASRock TSD

PC asks me to insert media to boot
PC came with no media CD/DVD or drives for same
Hard drive only
PC or board seems to need help to find device and/or its boot instructions??
Can hit F11 at a certain point to get some options for an EFI Shell or another choice I felt might be hard drive based on alpha-numeric naming starting with WD (Western Digital?)
Any helpful thoughts?]]> Sat, 09 May 2020 04:41:27 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14322&PID=75219&title=gaming-pc-will-not-boot#75219
