Upon booting my PC asks for a "Boot CD" and will not continue to Windows without it. This is a description of everything I have done up until this problem.
I recently reformatted my Raid 0'd 74GB Raptors.
I bought a Windows XP Upgrade CD.
I have a Full Windows 2000 Pro CD.
I install windows with a few hitches. The program fails to recognise the raided drives for the Raptors, No big deal, I start over and it recognises them. I install Windows, removing the XP when asked, placing the 2000Pro in it's place, then removing that and placing XP back for the installation. The rest of the install goes well. I reboot.
I (with the upgrade cd still in the drive) start windows and begin installing updates, drivers, etc. I restart with a different CD in the drive.
***Here lies my problem: My computer will not boot to Windows without the XP Upgrade CD in the drive.
"Boot from CD:
No SYSTEM DISC IN DRIVE. INSERT SYSTEM DISC AND PRESS ENTER TO CONTINUE"
Or something to that extent shows on my screen.
So I insert the disc and it then displays
"Press any key to boot from CD....."
Then it continues on to windows.
Things I have done to try and solve this:
I have gone into BIOS and lowered my disc drive to the last boot priority, then I took it completely off, to no effect.
I have fully updated windows. No effect.
I have reformatted and reinstalled. No effect.
Any help to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Olan.
