Windows only boots when the installation DVD is in

[ndadams]

Not sure why it does this but when I put the windows CD in it asks if I want to boot from CD, I say no and it's all fine and dandy.

But when I take the windows CD out it can't find a bootable device aka my hard drive and wants the cd in there, not sure why.

I only have one hard drive installed and it has windows installed already. Any help would be nice

What is the boot order in your bios?

 

[almartin]

When the cd is in the computer when you boot it will ask you if you want to boot from cd.
When you boot from your win cd say yes and run startup and repair to repair your boot files. It should then boot from your hard drive.
