I received a blue screen yesterday and upon restart, the laptop only boots into the BIOS.
In the SATA Configurations page, no hardware is shown. (I suspect faulty hdd).
I tried to USB boot into linux to backup my files but even through starting up linux, the screen stays black after hearing some noise every 2 seconds from inside.
tl;dr I cannot boot into stock OS (Windows 10 64bit) or USB boot into Linux (Mint 17) to check on my hard drive. Therefore is the hard drive even the problem? How to fix?
