Booting

[1JosiahF]

Hey community, I’m wondering why my computer won’t boot,it keeps saying “reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key”.I do not know how to insert a media and when I reboot it,it takes me back to options like press F9 etc but nothing seems to be working and it also told me to install something on my hard disk i believe so I’m just wondering if anybody knows what to do or how to fix it
