XP Won't boot without the CD in the drive?!?

[YZ12569]

I recently built a computer for my brother and everything seemed to go well until we took the CD out to load some different drivers. At that point we get a no boot device found message. But if we put the CD back in and opt not to boot to the CD we are up and going!

Any ideas or if you know how to fix this problem let me know.

Thanks a ton,

Sorry here is the system config:
K7T266 Pro2 RU - have not updated the bios yet I will try that tonight.
Athlon 1800+
512 DDR Mem.
Striping 2 WD 1000 BB HDD's on the onboard raid controller
Pioneer 16x DVD as master on the primary IDE controller
Floppy
ATI Rage All-In-Wonder Radeon
Linksys LNE100TX (don't know the revision)
Audigy Platinum Sound Card (Live Drive is connected)
USB 2.0 enabled and hooked up.

Thanks again,

In the bios change it to boot to ide 0.

I don't believe it had the option but I will check after I update the BIOS.
The only options were:
Floppy
CDROM
Try other boot devices = Yes

This is the least amount of options I have ever seen wich makes me hope when I update it there will be more.

Thanks though,

I had this problem with a Gateway server. I just loaded setup defaults in the bios, and it fixed it. I think it had something to do with quiet booting turned off. I have no clue why this should affect anything, but it happened to me. Good luck.

I had it happen to me also. I changed from cable-select to master on my raid HD's and that seemed to fix it.

Thanks for the advice I updated the BIOS and it seemed to work. (Could be that it just set defualts and that fixed it)
Anyway thanks!
