SATA HDD and DVD-RW Problems

Hey guys, I am having some issues with my PC. My main drive with my OS is SATA, as well as my DVD-RW. As of this morning, I received a "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" message when trying to turn on my computer. I checked my BIOS and the drive is not visible. I then tried to install the OS again on a new drive temporarily but my DVD-RW is not registering either. It is almost as if both SATA devices are not responding. I am using a Gigabyte motherboard with a Seagate 500GB hard drive and Lite-On DVD-RW. Please help.

This is only happen when your SATA port is misplaced.

1. if your SATA cable damaged or breaked.
2. SATA port not detect by your BIOS/Motherboard.
3. Check your connection of both SATA wire ended are connected correctly.
4. Reset yout BIOS with Jumper setting.
