Hi

Could someone please help me. I have a system and i have recently discovered it has been trying to boot up from the CD/DVD. Or at least i think!. Basically on start up it took 20 seconds or so and there was a clicking which i thought was the harddrive or my new graphics card. However last night it came up with a boot disk error and after unplugging harddrive and then plugging it back in it magically worked. But i then discovered it was the CD/DVD drive scanning on start up. however having gone into bios settings the first boot device is set as harddrive, so im very confused. How do i stop this?
