I bought my PC years ago with only a HDD. I added a SSD myself afterwards. When I booted my PC after a hard shutdown/electricity fallout I had only my HDD in BIOS. I then boot from HDD, get an error and let the PC reboot. After a few times the SSD would be recognized in BIOS and I could change the SSD to default.
I got tired of this proccess a few days ago and found a tip to disable the hdd-partition with diskpart. The first time I had a hardreset again (mouse and keyboard froze and pc didn't shutdown with a single press on startbutton), I couldn't do the HDD boot-trick and tried changing the cables from hdd to ssd (ssd in sata1). This didn't help. In diskpart I made the SSD partition active. I now can see the SSD in BIOS, but booting gives an error "An operating system wasn't found.". When I retry diskpart, the partition could be made active again. It seems like this resets..
Bootrec.exe /FixMbr was successful
Bootrec.exe /FixBoot gives no access error (there could be some parts left of a dual boot setup)
chkdsk gives no problems found
Mediatool boot:
- This PC can't be recovered with start-uprepair.
- You need to choose which installation of Windows you would like to put back when using Systemrecovery.
- Reboot, select a operating system and select Systemrecovery. No systemcopy available.
How could I make my pc boot again?
PC: MEDION AKOYA P5367 D EU (MSN: 10015458)
Motherboard: MS-7728
BIOS version: E7728MLN.209

HDD: ST1509DL003-9V (1500GB)

2018-08-26T09:22:30+00:00 - The USB drive was the flash drive for the repair.
- It was plugged in.
- There is a folder Boot on the same partition as the data. I need to check if there is another partition on the hdd, but I don't think so.
EDIT: Something strange: I booted the USB repair drive while the ssd was on priority 1. I repaired as usual, clicked Go to Windows 10 and rebooted. Then I got the No OS found error and changed boot priority to the USB drive at 1. Then I booted and got straight into Windows 10.
Seems like the USB drive has to be present to have no problems?..
I am trying the repair commands in Windows now.

Something else to consider... You can do a "REPAIR" installation of Windows 10 without losing anything... You may need to reinstall a driver, and may need to reset some of your settings, but nothing drastic...
It works pretty much like doing an upgrade from installation media...
You would just run the SETUP from within Windows...
It actually works better than a reset or refresh because you lose nothing...
You just need installation media of the same version you are running or higher... I just tested this on my machine for both Windows 7 and 10, and both were successful...
Just something to think about...
BTW... What is on your HDD ?

I just thought of something concerning your USB drive...
Did you ever turn the Legacy USB Support back on ?
Also... You might need to change the 1st Boot Device in your Bios to the SSD..
You should be able to set the Flash Drive as the 1st boot device and not cause any problem... Unless the USB drive has something on it that makes your Bios think it is bootable...
The best thing at the moment would be just make the SSD the 1st device, and use the BOOT OPTIONS menu if you need to boot with the flash drive...
If you still have problem, you can run sfc /scannow to check system files...
Here is a good article if you continue to have issues concerning Restoring Health of Windows 10... The very end of the article is important...

Is this USB Drive your flash drive, or something else ?
Was the USB Drive Plugged in when... After shutting down and new boot, I was able to login.?
Does your HDD have more on it than just Windows... Like a separate Data\storage partition ?
If it does, you might try hooking your HDD back up, but before booting into Windows, use Partition Wizard and make the Windows partition "Not Active", and make it "Hidden"...
