Boot Screen - Hard Drive Selection
 
Greetings,

I have two hard drives, and before formatting one of them, I could select which hard drive I wanted to boot from when powering the computer on. After formatting one of these hard drives, I no longer get that selection. Does anyone know how I can get the selection back?

Thanks!:icon_wink:

Sounds like you may have had a dual boot situation going on. If you wish to continue to see that option you must make the drive bootable again. You cannot boot to an empty drive so you need to install a bootable program or operating system.

This can also be installed by a third party boot manager but still cannot boot to any drive that is empty.
