I have two computers - a desktop and a laptop. The desktop has multiple hard drives attached - an SSD (Windows), two internal drives and an external drive.The Windows installation was on the SSD with the boot partition. One internal drive contained the system partition.
I had erroneously marked the SSD (c as the active partition, which caused the computer to stop working and display a failed boot message.
When I tried to load the BIOS settings, this failed too. The BIOS loads basic information such as RAM info, but gets stuck and does not display other information such as fan speed, processor info, etc. Also, the mouse does not move.
I have an installation disk, but am unable to boot to it as I had removed all drives from the boot order except the SSD.
I tried connecting the SSD to my laptop and marking it as inactive, to no avail.
How would I go about recovering from this mess?
