New build help

[adiamant11]

Hey everyone just got done building new computer. plugged it in everything powered on. Then instead of BIOS loading I get an error message. It says dboot error load diskk, or something like thait. I do not have an optical drive attached to the computer. Could this be the problem? I wanted to buy and external drive. Also can I use an external drive on a newly built computer even it the drivers arent loaded? Again im trying to use it on a computer that i just built and plugged in. Thanks

You did not list your hardware, but yes a modern computer allows a boot from USB drive.

Your hard drive is not bootable either I take it, so that is why the message. You need a bootable disk.

Still you should be able to access the BIOS. Unplug the HDD and try again.

My bad my hardware is:

Motherboard:gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3
CPU: intel i7 2600k
harddrive: Samsung spinpoint f3
PSU: pc power & cooling silencer 760W
memory:Corsair Vengeance 8GB

I also unplugged the harddrive and the bios screen will come up and then it will go back to the error message. Should I try taking out one of the sticks of memory?

And I just plugged the little speaker that came with the motherboard and it beeped once indicating that it booted successfully.

ok so I just discovered that when I turn the computer on if I hit delete I can enter BIOS. If I dont hit delete it will load and go to the boot disk error screen. Does this mean everything is running fine?
