Example: Pavilion G6
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

My system has refused to boot, it keeps showing recovery and an error message, saying there's a problem with a device connected with computer. This problem might occur when a removable disk is removed or falling. 

After reading that I checked my disks and found one of the memory tabs was not in place, after putting it back, I switched the laptop on but it still shows the same message

The following conditions can be helped by the hard reset:
