Hello, I have a 5-year-old Packard Bell computer and I suddenly encountered a problem today when it prompted me to insert a boot disk and press any key.
The issue is that I followed the recommendations suggested on some websites, but I'm stuck at the step where we have to choose our Boot priority order:
Because it does not display the same things as on those sites.
Specifically, I have 1-Network Boot: Atheros Boot Agent
2-ATAPI CDROM: Slimtype DVD A DS8A5SH
3-HDDO 4-HDD1 5-USB FDD 6-USB HDD
And 7 USB CDROM.
Thank you for your help.

    I think the error message indicates that the computer can't find an OS to boot. It might be because your hard drive is faulty or disconnected?

      How can I tell if my hard drive is disconnected or faulty?
      Well, anyway, thank you for your help.

      I hope you'll find more help in the Hardware forum Hard Drive / SSD.
