I have a pc I built about 6 months ago and it's been running great from day one.. until now. Had a storm blow through a few days ago and the power flashed, just long enough to shut off the computer. After the storm passed and I went to turn the pc back on, I'm getting a no boot device found error. This has happened before after a storm but rebooting once or twice always cleared it up. No such luck this time. The bios reads the dvd drive, and the external drives but not the internal.
I've tried every combination of trying different sata slot on the mobo, different cables, clearing the cmos, and everything else I can think of. I stuck the drive in one of my other desktops (not as a boot drive) and it read it fine and I could access the files so i know the drive isn't dead.
Any ideas as to the cause and how I can fix it?
The mobo is an ASRock 890GX PRO3 AM3+ Motherboard. The drive is a couple years old and is a WD caviar blue 640gig drive.
EDIT: Using vista home premium
Thanks in advance guys.
