This is a feature of Windows 7 Professional. Why would I have an XP installation disk? Isn't Windows 7 supposed to install the virtual image of XP anyway? The computer was working fine when you switched it off, and now it isn't working at all? If your system throws up the reboot and select proper device error, check out the fixes below.
The "reboot and select proper boot device" error is your computer's way of telling you that it cannot find the operating system. It then boots the operating system, and you arrive at the Windows 10 login screen.
That's an extremely simplified version of events, but you get the gist of it. These aren't the only causes, but the root of a reboot and select proper device error usually relates to one of these areas.
The first thing to check is the connection between your hard drive or SSD and your motherboard inside your computer. If your hard drive is not communicating with your motherboard correctly or has become completely disconnected, your operating system will not load. Checking inside your computer case can seem a little overwhelming. You must unscrew the case, then check for disconnected cables.
While you have the side of your computer open, you should take this opportunity to clean your computer. Cleaning your computer might not resolve the reboot and select proper boot device error, but it can help protect against overheating and the issues that stem from that. If your hard drive is connected to the motherboard properly, you'll have to try a different fix. From here, you can understand if the hard drive is the first thing your computer looks for when trying to load the operating system, or if something has replaced it.
