I had issues with a netbook before where the system refused to boot from the primary harddrive or even refused to boot from USB drives and would constantly keep going to the CD-ROM despite the boot order I set. I had to do a bios flash to correct the problem.
Thanks for your help. I unplugged everything and changed the HD to primary device but the same message still appears:



Here are some other pics of what might help with this:









Thanks again H&L.
