    Check BIOS settings. Your PC should boot on the hard disk that contains your OS.

        Never argue with a stupid person, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

          Turn the computer on, and watch the bottom of the screen closely.
          It'll say something like:
          Press "some key" to enter setup
          Press that key, and you'll get to BIOS.
          Look for "boot order".
          It should read:
          - floppy (if any)
          - CD drive
          - hard drive/fixed disk
