    Hi,
    I used an old internal harddrive in a caddy to pull some folders off this little MSI and now it wont even boot infact it wont even recover, i have tried to rearrange the boot order so it dosent try to boot from the external drive but still nothing. I havent tried to boot from a disk or a flash drive yet that is my last option ha ha.
    Sorry if i dont reply quickly im a little bit hecktic.

    Thanks in advance for any help you or suggestions you can make

    You have to recover boot option use hirensboot tools and there is utility named sfdisk . With this tool you can mark active partition.

    Probably virus, malware or somethink else damage boot. You need to set active partition.
