When my computer starts up i get this message: "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device". How do I stop getting this startup message? USING WINDOWS 7 OR SYSTEM BACKUP/STARTUP DISK INEFFECTIVE. REINSTALLING WINDOWS 7 INEFFECTIVE. GOING TO A COMPUTER REPAIR SHOP/STAPLES INEFFECTIVE. TAKING OFF THE SIDE PANEL AND CHECKING THE CABLES INEFFECTIVE.

My first guess would be that your Boot Device in BIOS isn't correct. Go to BIOS at Start Up, by pressing the appropriate key, quite commonly Delete, or what you can find in the manual of your motherboard - DO CHECK THE KEY - and check the settings, that they are set to start from that location. It may also be a problem with the disk, or partitions; for some reason Windows doesn't recognize it / them.
