PXE issue

It seems my windows is not booting up from my HDD. Let me just start from the beginning .

I was using my desktop at the time I was downloading a steam game (wolfenstein) then my pc hard locked which forced me to hardreset it.

When it came back all of the sudden it boots up ''Start>PXE IPV4 which fails than it proceeds to IPV6'' . I googled up few issues but it wasn't clear as the most information seemed old .

From the Boot menu (F12) using motherboard Gigabyte 970A-DS3P AM3+ (ATX, DDR3, USB 3.0, 6Gb/s) . I can see my HDD (TB WD CAVIAR BLACK) listed but when i press enter it says boot from different source etc.

Any advice ? The system is literally 2 days old from PC specialist and I am a first time costumer....I'm really not impressed with this (sorry to be blunt)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Are you booting from a home server or something of the sort?

Not that I am aware of. I have not set up any server or anything.

I have spoken to a tech from PC Specialist and he suggested that it was a failed HDD but he seemed not bothered and literally gave his answer straight away. I clicked on few downloaded items and they work fine. If my HDD failed wouldn't also my stuff I downloaded fail as well ?

I am confused.

Sorry to hear that :/
So you can access your data and boot into windows? Do you only have the one drive? If you can access all the data on it then the hard drive definitely did not fail.

I posted print screen but A moderator needs to approve the picture. Yes I can still access my data and HDD seems to be showing up in the ''my computer '' section

I have solved the problem.

Apparently the boot order section went wrong. It was trying to boot using LAN PXE when it should have booted from the HDD. So if your HDD is still working fine

It does recognize the hard drive. The boot options says

1.UEIF IP4 realtek pcie FE family control

2.UEIF IP6 realtek pcie FE family control

3. OS

4. Boot Manager.



Personally mine did not show OS, but mine was linked to windows boot manager . I clicked on that and it worked absolutely fine. I will try to see if same issue happens again.

Thanks guys.
