New primary partition with no operating system

Thread needs solution

Hi, I created a new partition so that I could load a new operating system. I think the problem is that I made it a primary partition so now when I turn in laptop it boots to that partition instead of the original c: partition and I get black screen that says boot decide not found, please install an operating system. Hard disk 3f0. I'm wondering if there is a way to either change this drive to secondary or change boot order? Please need help

Brenda, welcome to these User Forums.

Please can you clarify how Acronis True Image is involved in this issue?  Do you have the product installed and if so, have you created the Acronis Rescue Media and created a full backup image of your laptop drive prior to creating the new primary partition?

What version of Windows is involved here?

Have you tried modifying the BIOS boot priority settings for the laptop?
