Skip "non-system disk in drive - press key"

[alm4rr]

I leave a CD in my cdrom drive and I apparently had the correct setting before I cleared the CMOS. During bootup, pc would recognize that the cd was not bootable and would continue to boot...


Now it detects that the cd is not bootable and states, "on-system disk in drive - remove disk and press a key to continue" (something like that) and it won't boot until a key is pressed (obviously)

I've put the bios setting on Halt on - No Errors, which didn't help...

Can anyone jog my memory and tell me what I did before to set it back

Thx

Maybe you have to set the HD to boot from before the cd-rom in the BIOS?

Thx for the reply.

I've always had it check the cdrom before the HD.
I always keep my boot order as floppy/cd/hd (so I can always pop in bootable without bothering w/bios)

There's gotta be a switch somewhere, as I did this before when I first got the mobo!

I'm not 100% on this, but I *believe* that on w/ my BIOS, I can still have a Floppy / HDD / CDrom boot order and if there's a bootable CD in the drive, it'll boot that before the HDD.

I know that sounds counter-intuitive/wacky, but my default boot order definitely has cdrom after the other two and I can boot a bootable cdrom before the harddrive os.

Is there a setting for "Try other boot devices?"

There are two places that need to be changed to get it to boot from HD instead of CD.

I figured it out. I messed it up..

When I had the boot order, I had it on HD1 instead of HD0
(second vs first HD)

d0h!
