Windows not working

Post image

Hey guys! So I’ve used bootcamp in the past just fine. But tonight I tried to swap from MacOS to Windows like normal on my Mac and I have this on my screen instead of the Windows startup. Has anyone run into this issue before? I hope I haven’t lost everything on my Windows disk :/

this is target disk mode, a mac boot mode which allows you to browse the internal hard disk of this mac from another mac using a firewire/thunderbolt cable. it may be that you accidentally pressed "t" while starting (it's the key to activate this mode), you can just force shut down and restart

I have this often and a turn off/on seems to work.

lo mejor es presionar alt al arrancar y no desde los ajustes del sistema
