I will introduce myself as a old man with thoughts of youthfulness in my mind... Here is my problem.. I have a MSI laptop, it is running windows 7, 4GB of ram, dual core AMD processor...

I took it out and put it back into the laptop and started up the laptop, it did not load windows or anything, said media failure.
