OS not Found, in WIN98SE

[psyclone]

I have a computer that wont load windows, when you turn the computer it says, operating system not found, press any key to continue, if you put the win98 CD in the drive it brings up a menu, boot from CD or Boot from HDD are the two options, if i say boot from HDD it works fine, goes into windows and everythign works perfectly.

Does someone know how i cna fix the computer so i dont have to put the CD in the drive.

I tried re-installling windows however this did not fix the problem.

Can't say I have every expereinced this. But my first place to look w/b the BIOS. Go in there and check what you've got as far as the boot order.

Barton 2500+
Abit NF7-S v 2.0
Maxtor 60GB ATA 133 7200RPM
512MB Corsair Twinx 3200LL

Go into BIOS and set it to boot off the hard drive first. If that doesn't fix it, set the HDD Pre Delay to something like 10 seconds.
